Interventional Endoscopy
Interventional Endoscopy
Our center had done many interventional endoscopies (Including Dilatation for various types of strictures, ERCP for various indications, Pancreatic Therapeutic endoscopies, etc) which had benefitted many patients and we are considered one of the expertise in this field in this geographical region.
Interventional endoscopy is a general label given to endoscopic procedures used to deal with a variety of gastrointestinal disorders. The interventional endoscopic procedures of interest in this review are those used specifically with gastric disorders.
- They include hemostasis, endoscopic ultrasound, endoscopic mucosal resection, stenting, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube placement and photodynamic laser therapy. Here, we review the latest data related to (a) a number of general issues having an impact on this diverse group of procedures (eg, such as proper patient selection criteria, consent in the era of open access endoscopy, protocol for anticoagulation, and sedation); (b) the methodology and outcomes of each of these unique procedures as they apply to the stomach; and (c) some of the latest technologic advances and developments that will potentially have an impact the future use of these procedures.
- Advanced interventional endoscopy, sometimes referred to as “surgical endoscopy,” is a highly specialized field where fellowship-trained physicians use new technology to perform minimally invasive therapeutic or palliative surgical procedures.
