Role of ultrathin transnasal esophagogastroduodenoscopy: experience with 50 patients.
Conventional gastroscopes have a diameter of 8.8-12 mm; ultrathin endoscopes have an outer diameter of 5.3-5.9 mm. We share our experience with 50 patients who underwent transnasal esophagogastroduodenoscopy using an ultrathin endoscope. The indications included endoscopyassisted nasogastric tube placement in 25 patients, tight lesions not negotiable with conventional endoscope in 9, restricted...
متن کاملDetection of mucin-hypersecreting bile duct tumor by direct peroral cholangioscopy.
bile duct tumor is difficult because of ambiguity caused by the abundant mucin secretion and/or by the superficial mucosal spread of the tumor along the bile duct [1]. We report the case of a 77-year-old patient, who initially presented with severe jaundice, right upper abdominal pain, and fever. The endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) demonstrated a large amount of viscous mu...
متن کاملDirect peroral cholangioscopy using an ultrathin endoscope: making technique easier.
BACKGROUND Cholangioscopy is a useful tool for the study and treatment of biliary pathology. Ultrathin upper endoscopes allow direct peroral cholangioscopy (DPC) but have some drawbacks. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate the success rate of DPC with an ultrathin endoscope using a balloon catheter to reach the biliary confluence. MATERIAL AND METHODS Prospective observational st...
متن کاملTransgastrostomal Observation and Management Using an Ultrathin Endoscope After Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy
Recent developments have made ultrathin endoscopes available for routine esophagogastroduodenoscopy and also for unsedated transnasal observation (Shaker, 1994). Transnasal endoscopy is known to be less of a burden for patients (more tolerable) than transoral endoscopy and has benefits including fewer effects on respiratory and cardiovascular status and reduced recovery time after the procedure...
متن کاملA randomized trial of topical anesthesia comparing lidocaine versus lidocaine plus xylometazoline for unsedated transnasal upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
BACKGROUND The optimal topical anesthesia regimen for unsedated transnasal endoscopy is unknown. The addition of a nasal decongestant, such as xylometazoline (X), to a topical anesthestic may improve patient comfort. OBJECTIVE To determine the effectiveness of lidocaine (L) versus L plus X (LX) for anesthesia in unsedated transnasal endoscopy. METHODS Consecutive participants of the Aklavik...
