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.
