Study Notes

Endoscopy Exam Notes

  • Endoscopy is a procedure used to view and operate on internal organs and vessels.
  • It's used to investigate unusual symptoms and perform certain types of surgery.
  • Endoscopy is not only used for the digestive system, it has a wider scope.

Types of Endoscopy

  • Laparoscopy: For the abdomen or pelvis.
  • Hysteroscopy: For the uterus.
  • Cystoscopy: For the bladder.
  • Gastroscopy (upper GI endoscopy): For the upper gastrointestinal tract.
  • Colonoscopy: For the colon.
  • Sigmoidoscopy: For the sigmoid colon.
  • ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography): For the bile and pancreatic ducts.
  • Bronchoscopy: For the lungs.
  • Laryngoscopy: For the larynx.
  • Arthroscopy: For joints.
  • Nasopharyngoscopy: For the nasopharynx.
  • Otoscopy: For the ears.

Why Endoscopy?

  • Diagnose and treat sources of bleeding.
  • Identify polyps (groups of abnormal tissues).
  • Diagnose inflammatory bowel diseases.
  • Detect other conditions.
  • Aid surgery (much less invasive than open surgery)
  • Allows for descriptive and photographic documentation.
  • Low morbidity and mortality.

Disadvantages

  • Only views the surface of the organ.
  • Can only view a small area at a time.

Investigating Symptoms

  • Vomiting blood
  • Difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia)
  • Persistent diarrhea
  • Persistent abdominal pain
  • Heart-related issues (unexplained vomiting, persistent vomiting)
  • Weight loss

Specific Endoscopy Techniques Notes

  • Capsule Endoscopy: A capsule with a camera is swallowed to examine the digestive tract. Sensors are attached to a belt around the waist to collect data; it lasts 8 to 12 hours.
  • Endoscopic Ultrasound: Uses high-frequency sound waves to identify digestive and lung issues.
  • Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): Uses combination of endoscopy and X-rays to examine the bile and pancreatic ducts. The patient should not eat or drink for about 8-12 hours before the procedure.
  • Chromolendoscopy: Dyes are used before endoscopy to identify any lesions.
  • Marginal/Marrow Imaging: Filtered light to give better visuals of internal organs.

Other Endoscopy Information

  • Colonoscopy: Examines the large intestine.
  • Da Vinci Surgical System: Robot-assisted endoscopy; improves surgical dexterity and control.
  • Therapeutic Uses: Interventions like removing foreign objects, biopsies, and treating conditions like bleeding, tumors, and inflammation.
