Endoscopy (endoscopy)

Understand the endoscopy procedure: when it is recommended, how it is done, safety, and how results are reported.

Endoscopy for gastrointestinal bleeding: patient preparation

Preparation for fibroendoscopy for gastrointestinal bleeding is carried out during resuscitation. Pain management should be tailored to the patient's condition. Local anesthesia is most commonly used, but general anesthesia (endotracheal and intravenous) is also used.

Endoscopy for gastrointestinal bleeding: diagnosis and management

Gastrointestinal bleeding is a secondary pathological condition. The most common causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding are chronic gastric or duodenal ulcers. In recent years, the number of patients hospitalized for peptic ulcers has decreased significantly, but the number of patients with bleeding chronic ulcers remains unchanged.

Endoscopic surgery of gastrointestinal tract tumors: possibilities

A two-stage polypectomy is also used for multiple polyps. If the procedure is successful and the patient is in good condition, the goal is to simultaneously excise and remove all polyps (up to 7-10). However, if patients do not tolerate the insertion of an endoscope well, 3-5 polyps can be removed, and the procedure repeated after 2-3 days.

Endoscopic treatment of peptic ulcer disease: modern methods

Endoscopic treatment of peptic ulcer disease is used as an addition to drug therapy for ulcers that are difficult to treat.

Therapeutic endoscopy for foreign bodies: removal and tactics

Foreign bodies are all bodies entering from outside in a special way or formed in the body, digestible or not, of living or non-living nature, serving as food or not, with or without clinical manifestations.

Endoscopy of the duodenum and intestines: indications

Duodenoscopy can also be performed using end-mounted devices. These are particularly advantageous when examining patients who have undergone gastric resection using the Billroth II method.

Esophageal endoscopy: indications and what the doctor sees

During esophageal endoscopy, the longitudinal folds of the mucosa touch at their apexes in the cervical esophagus. Straightening the folds and examining the mucosa in this region is only possible with intense air inflation; achieving complete straightening of the folds is difficult. When the esophagus is easily straightened by the air, the end of the endoscope can be confirmed to have reached the thoracic esophagus.

Gastric cancer: endoscopic markers and suspicious findings

In Ukraine, stomach cancer is the second most common cancer among men and the third most common cancer among women. Localization: 50-65% in the pyloroantral region (25-27% along the lesser curvature), up to 2% in the fornix, 3.4% in the upper third, 16% in the middle third, and 36% in the lower third. Total gastric involvement occurs in 14% of cases.

Gastric ulcer: endoscopic picture and criteria

An ulcer is a localized defect in the stomach wall, affecting the mucosa and some other layers (submucosa, muscularis, and sometimes serous). During examination, it is necessary to determine the location, number, shape, size, and stage of development.

Gastric erosions: endoscopic signs and differences from ulcers

These diseases affect people of active age. The incidence rate in our country has been increasing over the years. The age range is expanding. Women are affected, on average, four times less frequently than men. Young women, unlike men, are affected less frequently than older women.
