Endoscopy
 The process of inspecting both internal body cavities & epithelium
lined organs by the means of rigid or flexible instrument.
 This may be through a natural orifice e.g.: oesophagoscopy,
sigmoidoscopy
 Through a surgically created hole e.g. : arthroscopy, laparoscopy
Endoscope
 Instrument used to examine the interior of a hollow organ or cavity
of the body
2
endoscopes
 Rigid  Flexible

4
Uses of endoscopy
 Investigation of symptoms
e.g. : difficulty in swallowing, GI bleeding , abdominal pain, nausea , vomiting
 Diagnostic
e.g. : biopsy in anemia , bleeding, inflammation, cancers of GI tract
 Therapeutic
e.g. : widening of narrow esophagus , cauterization of bleeding vessel, clipping off a polyp
 Monitoring & screening
e.g. : Gastric carcinoma,colorecatal carcinoma
 Research
5
classification
 The GI tract
- Oesophagus ,stomach & duodenum – Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy
- Small intestine – Enteroscopy
- Colon – Colonoscopy . Sigmoidoscopy
- Bile duct – ERCP
- Rectum & anus – Proctoscopy
 The urinary tract – Cystoscopy
 The respiratory tract
- Upper respiratory tract - Rhinoscopy ,Laryngoscopy
- Lower respiratory tract - Broncoscopy
 The ear – Otoscopy
6
 The female reproductive system
- The cervix- Colposcopy
- The uterus – Hysteroscopy
- The fallopian tube – Falloposcopy
 Closed body cavities
- The abdominal , pelvic cavity – Laparoscopy
- Joint interior – Arthroscopy
 Intrathoracic– Thoracoscopy & Mediastinoscopy

 Take biopsy if necessary
 Advice patient not to swallow until the effect of anaesthetic is over
10
Complications
 Perforation -highest in elderly with oesophageal pathology
 Bleeding -commonest after biopsy or therapeutic procedure
 Respiratory depression and arrest -over medication and sedatives
11

 To aceess the true height of rectal
cancers (distance from anal verge)
 Conservative Rx of sigmoid volvulus
Flexible sigmoidoscopy

verge)
 Indications
 Screening for colorectal cancers
 Pre op evaluation before anorectal surgery
 Surveillance of previously diagnosed
colorectal malignancy
 Removal of foreign bodies
 To take biopsy
 To perform therapeutic procedures
 (eg: balloon dilatation)
19
Rigid sigmoidoscopy Flexible sigmoidoscopy
Contraindications
 Bowel perforation

 Acute diverticulitis
 Toxic megacolon
 Recent colonic surgery
 Anal fissures
Contraindications
 Bowel perforation

20
Relative
Absolute
Patient preparation
 Informed consent
 Bowel preparation
- rigid sigmoidoscopy – microenema
- flexible sigmoidoscopy – Phosphate enema
 IV Midazolam if required
21
Cystoscopy
Under LA
Indications
-UTI
-Haematuria
-Urinary incontinence
-Prostatic enlargement
-Urinanary calculi
-Suspected malignancy in urinary tract
22
 Flexible  Rigid
Under GA
Patient preparation
 Informed consent
 Check a urine sample to find any infection
 Urinate and come prior to the procedure
 Preparation of genitalia using an antiseptic solution
 Cover the area with sterile drapes
Complications
 Dysuria
 Haematuria
 Frequency
 UTI
 Bleeding
 Perforation of bladder
23
Bronchoscopy
 Visualize the larynx ,trachea, segmental bronchi
24
Rigid
 Mainly for therapeutic
purposes
 Indications
- stent placement
- pulmonary abscess drainage
- foreign body removal
- tracheobronchial tree
cleansing
 Under GA
Flexible
 Mainly for Diagnostic purposes
 Indications
- chronic cough
- vocal cord problems
- pulmonary abscess
- mediastinal neoplasia
 Under LA
 Laryngoscopy
Use to visualize oral cavity ,oropharynx, vocal cords.
 Thoracoscopy
Introduced through an incision of chest to gain access to the thoracic
cavity
 Mediastinoscopy
Visualization of the content of the mediastinum
For obtaining a biopsy ( lung cancer, Lymph nodes )
25
Advantages
- No GA is needed
- Usually well tolerated
- Biopsies are taken under direct visualization
- Can be used for management of patients
Disadvantages
- Tissue biopsies are small due to small size of biopsy canal
26
Complications
 Bleeding
- From mucosal injury , perforation sites and biopsy sites
 Infection
- due to cross infection of HIV and HBV
- Prophylaxis antibiotics are important in high risk patients
 Perforation of hollow viscus
 Pulmonary aspiration
 Intestinal obstruction
27
How to clean the endoscope?
 By Teepol
 Should brush the inside of endoscope
 Then clean with running water
 Finally clean with cidex solution
