Less invasive endoscopic bariatric procedures are under development for the management of class I of obesity. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the safety of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG)...
This is a retrospective single-center study over 191 patients using the ESG under general anesthesia with overnight inpatient observation between January 2019 and December 2020. The analyzed variables...
A total of 191 patients underwent ESG for primary obesity. There were 173 female (90.6%) with a mean age of 36.9 years. The mean BMI was 33.7 kg/m...
Endoscopic gastroplasty represents a safe minimal invasive approach with the new device OverStitch Sx™ that can be considered an effective and well-tolerated procedure especially for primary obesity t...
We sought to compare the effect of applying a 5-mm endoscope and a 10-mm endoscope in the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) and to clarify the advantages of using a 5-mm ...
A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 135 patients who were diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma and who had undergone TOETVA in the thyroid disease center of The First Affiliated Hos...
Compared with the 10-mm endoscope group, the 5-mm endoscope group had less surgical trauma, less injury to the mandibular muscles (orbicularis oris, depressor labii inferioris, and mentalis muscle), s...
The application of a 5-mm endoscope not only improves the cosmetic effect of TOETVA but also reduces the degree of surgical trauma, saves the surgical space, improves the surgical efficiency, and redu...
Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection is technically demanding, and the traction offered by gravity, cap, or clip-with-line during conventional endoscopic submucosal dissection remains unsatisfa...
This study aimed to test the novel double-scope endoscopic submucosal dissection with snare-based traction....
This was a retrospective study that reviewed double-scope endoscopic submucosal dissection compared with matched conventional endoscopic submucosal dissection, and size, location, morphology, and path...
This study was conducted in a referral endoscopy center in a local hospital....
This study included patients with colorectal lesions receiving double-scope endoscopic submucosal dissection and matched conventional endoscopic submucosal dissection....
The pathological completeness, procedure time, and complications were analyzed....
Fifteen double-scope endoscopic submucosal dissection procedures, with 11 lesions located in the proximal colon with a median size of 40 mm, were performed. The median procedure time of double-scope e...
This was a single-center, single-operator, retrospective case-controlled study with limited cases....
This study confirmed the feasibility of double-scope endoscopic submucosal dissection with snare-based traction to shorten procedure time and to simplify endoscopic submucosal dissection. Additional t...
Effective drying of the internal channels of endoscopes is essential to prevent the growth of water-borne pathogens and to assure adequate sterilization with vaporized hydrogen peroxide or ethylene ox...
Stripped endoscopes (SE) that allow for visual inspection of the inside channels were reprocessed per protocol in a large urban medical center, with a 3-minute or 10-minute air flush following reproce...
All SE were grossly wet after HLD with a 3-minute air flush, despite alcohol flush and drying cycle. The 10-minute air flush was effective at drying the biopsy/suction channel, but not the air/water c...
Air flush cycles commonly used in the final steps of automated endoscope reprocessing may not adequately dry endoscope channels, particularly the narrower diameter air/water channels. An extended 10-m...
Endoscopy was first employed in the surgical treatment of neurosurgical diseases early in the twentieth century, but did not become an established practice for a long time, mainly because of poor tech...
The expansion of ventricular endoscopy has led to significant understanding of CSF disorders. Aqueduct stenosis as cause of hydrocephalus and arachnoid cysts are an example of pathologies, the concept...
We should always remember that the endoscope is only a tool. Its use has indications and limitations related to its design and our ability to extract the maximum, in the context of its shortcomings. F...
One of the main difficulties in third ventricle surgery is its deep and central location within the brain, surrounded by many eloquent neurovascular structures. Such anatomical environment obviously m...
The introduction of the surgical microscope into the neurosurgical field undoubtedly played an important and pivotal role in improving the surgical results and increasing the safety of operations in a...
In this collection on purely endoscopic and endoscope-assisted approaches to lesions of the third ventricle in pediatric age, the readership is presented with a selected group of these operations perf...
This statement was written under the auspices of the World Gastroenterology Organization's Guidelines Committee. The authors are members of the Review Team of the WGO Endoscope Disinfection Guideline ...
Endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) advances the principles of minimally invasive surgery, including minor collateral tissue damage, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery times. ESS allows for direct acc...
Philipp Bozzini, a German army surgeon, in 1807 invented the Lichtleiter, the predecessor of the modern cystoscope. By the mid-1800s, several new instruments were created including one, a variation on...
We researched the life of Philip Wales and the description of his cystoscope as well as Horatio Kern, the instrument maker that produced Wales' instrument. We examined the Wales cystoscope acquired by...
Philip Skinner Wales (1837-1906) was a surgeon who entered the United States Navy in 1856 and served throughout the Civil War. He organized and held charge of the Naval Hospital at New Orleans during ...
The Wales endoscope is unique in that it had an American inventor, was simple in design and cheap to produce. It is an important historical artifact and is one of the earliest and rarest cystoscopes d...
In colonoscopy, it is desirable to accurately localize the position of the endoscope's distal tip. Current tip localization techniques are not sufficient for recording the position and movement of the...
A dual modality tracking method is developed to measure the motion of the endoscope's insertion tube in real time, including insertion length, rotation angle, and their velocities. Optical trackballs ...
The accuracy of insertion length and rotational angle were measured. For speeds ≤ 10 mm/s, the median and 90th percentile insertion position errors were 0.88 mm and 2.2 mm, respectively. The insertion...
The prototype device can precisely measure an unmodified endoscope's position, rotation, and motion in real time without significant accumulative error. The prototype device is small and compatible wi...
