Study Notes

Endoscopy Exam Notes

Endoscopy is a procedure used to view and operate on internal organs and vessels.
It can be used for investigation, to help perform certain types of surgery, and to remove a small sample of tissue for further analysis
Endoscopy is not only used for digestive systems. It has a wider scope
Different types of endoscopy include: Laparoscopy (for abdomen/pelvis), Hysteroscopy (for uterus), Cystoscopy (for bladder), Gastroscopy (upper GI), Colonoscopy (for colon), Sigmoidoscopy (for colon), Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), Bronchoscopy (for lungs), Laryngoscopy, Arthroscopy (for joints), Nasopharyngoscopy, and Otoscopy (for ears)
Endoscopy is helpful for diagnosing and treating conditions such as bleeding, polyps, inflammatory bowel diseases, and abnormal tissues
It can only view a small area at a time and the surface of the organ
Some advantages of endoscopy include less invasion compared to open surgery, allowing for descriptive and photographic documentation, low morbidity, and low mortality.
Disadvantages include only viewing the surface and a small area at a time.

Capsule Endoscopy

A capsule endoscopy is a small capsule with a camera that is swallowed.
It transmits images as it passes through the digestive tract.
The images are recorded on a data recorder attached to a belt around the waist.
A capsule endoscopy is for examining the digestive tract, such as the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine.

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

ERCP combines endoscopy and X-rays.
It's used for diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the bile ducts, gallbladder, pancreas, and liver.
It allows visualization of the bile and pancreatic ducts.
ERCP is used when a person is suspected of having bile duct or pancreatic duct problems, or when there's a blockage.

Bronchoscopy

Bronchoscopy is inserting a thin, tube-like instrument through the nose or mouth to view the airways (trachea, bronchi, and smaller airways)
Used in Diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the lungs, like cancer staging, infections, and bleeding.
It collects bronchial/lung secretions for biopsy.
There are flexible and rigid types.
Advantages are wide channels for biopsy and specimen removal.
Disadvantages include manoeuvrability challenges and need for anesthesia.

Colonscopy

Examines the large intestine using a flexible tube.
Used to screen for polyps and cancers, and to treat certain conditions.
Patient preparation is important (no eating or drinking before the procedure)

Cystoscopy

Examines the inside of the bladder and urethra using a thin, tube-like instrument.
Used to diagnose infections, blood in urine, and detect abnormal growths or stones.

Proctoscopy

Examines the rectum and anus using a short, rigid instrument.
Used to detect diseases, evaluate abnormal results, check for rectal bleeding, monitor polyp growth, and check for cancer.
