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...

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...

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 ...
