Virtually Assisted Optical Colonoscopy
We present a set of tools used to enhance the optical colonoscopy procedure in a novel manner with the aim of improving both the accuracy and efficiency of this procedure. In order to better present the colon information to the gastroenterologist performing a conventional (optical) colonoscopy, we undistort the radial distortion of the fisheye view of the colonoscope. The radial distortion is m...
متن کاملSmall Bowel Stent-in-Stent Placement for Malignant Small Bowel Obstruction Using a Balloon-Assisted Overtube Technique
Self-expanding metal stents are a useful therapy to palliate malignant and benign luminal gastrointestinal obstruction. Self-expanding metal stents has been widely reported for colonic, esophageal, and gastric obstruction. However, endoscopic delivery and placement to the small bowel is more challenging and difficult. This case illustrates the usefulness and technical advantages of the balloon-...
متن کاملUsing balloon-overtube-assisted enteroscopy for postoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is technically more challenging in patients with postsurgical anatomy such as Roux-en-Y anastomosis, frequently mandating an operative intervention. Although limited, there is growing evidence that ERCP can be performed using the balloon-overtube-assisted enteroscopy (BOAE) in patients with complex postoperative anatomy. We present the techn...
متن کاملSpiral enteroscopy: a new twist on overtube-assisted endoscopy.
Until recently, the small bowel remained beyond the reach of direct endoscopic inspection outside the operating room. No matter how hard the endoscopist pushed a floppy tube, the twists and contours of the gut eventually ganged up, loops formed, and forward motion ended. Novel endoscope designs, like the Sondé enteroscope that relied on gut motility to move the tip through the bowel, proved too...
متن کاملBalloon-Assisted Creation and Maturation of an Arteriovenous Fistula in a Patient with Small-Caliber Vasculature
The major problem associated with the creation of an arteriovenous fistula (AVF), which is the optimal form of vascular access for hemodialysis, is the fact that fistulas do not necessarily mature into a usable vascular access, requiring subsequent revision and construction of another access. The caliber of the vessels used for fistula creation is a pivotal factor predicting the presumable matu...
