Study Notes
Endoscopy Exam Notes
- Endoscopy is a procedure used to view and operate on internal organs and vessels.
- It can be used to investigate unusual symptoms, perform certain types of surgery, and remove small tissue samples for analysis.
- Endoscopy is not limited to the digestive system; it has a wider scope.
Types of Endoscopy
- Laparoscopy: Used for abdominal or pelvic procedures.
- Hysteroscopy: Examines the uterus.
- Cystoscopy: Examines the bladder.
- Gastroscopy/Upper GI endoscopy: Examines the upper gastrointestinal tract.
- Colonoscopy: Examines the colon.
- Sigmoidoscopy: Examines the sigmoid colon.
- ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography): Combines endoscopy and X-rays to treat pancreatic and bile duct diseases.
- Bronchoscopy: Examines the lungs.
- Laryngoscopy: Examines the larynx.
- Arthroscopy: Examines joints.
- Nasopharyngoscopy: Examines the nasal passages and pharynx.
- Otoscopy: Examines the ear.
Why Endoscopy?
- Used to diagnose and treat sources of bleeding, polyps, inflammatory bowel diseases, and other abnormal tissues.
- The endoscope is less invasive than open surgery.
- Allows for detailed visual documentation.
- Low morbidity and mortality rates.
Disadvantages
- It can only view the surface of an organ and a small area at a time.
Investigating Symptoms
- Vomiting blood
- Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
- Persistent diarrhea
- Persistent abdominal pain
- Heart-related unexplained vomiting
- Unexplained weight loss
Latest Techniques in Endoscopy
- Capsule Endoscopy: A capsule with a camera that is swallowed to examine the digestive tract.
- Endoscopic Ultrasound: High-frequency sound waves used to identify digestive and lung diseases.
- Narrow Band Imaging: Filtered light used for clearer visualization of internal organs.
- Chromolendoscopy: Dyes are used to identify any lesions before endoscopy.
Endoscopy B
- Da Vinci Surgical System (robot-assisted) gives improved dexterity and control, reducing hospital stay and risk.
- Endoscopy is used to diagnose inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, and other stomach and intestinal conditions.
- Endoscopy is used in therapeutic procedures such as removing foreign bodies, dilation, stenting, and feeding tube placement.
Endoscopy C
- Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy using endoscopes are reliable diagnostic tools for various conditions.
- Certain abnormalities like tiny ulcers or early-stage cancers may not be detected during gastroscopy.
- Colonoscopy procedures are used to detect and treat abnormalities in the large intestine.
Endoscopy D
- Procedures include foreign body removal, mucosal resection, etc.
- Examination of the small intestine is possible using procedures like Enteroscopy.
Endoscopy E
- Bronchoscopy is used for various purposes like treating infections or removing foreign objects.
- Therapeutic procedures like laser therapy, Argon beam coagulation, and brachytherapy are used for treatment and diagnosis.
- Bronchoscopy complications include pneumothorax, hemorrhage, and bronchospasm.
Endoscopy F
- ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography): A specialized procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the bile ducts, gallbladder, pancreas, and liver.
- ERCP combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy (X-rays) to visualize the bile and pancreatic ducts.
- ERCP is used when there's a bile duct/pancreatic duct blockage or suspected tumors.
Endoscopy G
- Cystoscopy is used to examine the inside of the urinary bladder and urethra.
- It's used for diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract infections, blood in urine, frequent urination, and unusual cell presence in urine samples.
Endoscopy H
- Proctoscopy is a procedure used to examine the rectum and anal canal.
- It's used to diagnose diseases and abnormalities in the rectum, assess rectum bleeding causes, and evaluate polyps in the rectum.
- Proctoscopy complications may include heavy bleeding, difficulty urinating, and/or severe pain.
