Overtubes for Endoscopic Resection: When and How?

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses two devices that can aid in difficult colonoscopies: the Pathfinder and the Dillumine. The Pathfinder is a rigidizing overtube that can be attached to the colonoscope to provide rigidity and prevent loop formation. It is easy to set up and can be used in real-time during a procedure. The Dillumine is a double balloon overtube that creates a therapeutic zone for stabilization during complex procedures like ESD and EMR. It has two balloons, one near the scope and one forward, to provide stability and facilitate resection. Both devices offer advantages such as ease of use, compatibility with existing equipment, and the ability to remove and reinsert the scope. These devices are recent innovations and can be helpful for difficult colonoscopies.
