ASGE Annual Postgraduate Course Endoscopy 2022: Breakthrough to Excellence | DDW 2022-Live Endoscopy from Dusseldorf, Germany

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, endoscopists from Hyderabad, Milan, and Dusseldorf perform live endoscopy procedures for the ASGE audience. The first case involves an 87-year-old patient with dysphagia and a large Zankers diverticulum. The endoscopist uses an Olympus EZ 1500 endoscope and performs a Z-poam procedure to establish a tunnel and cut the cricopharyngeal muscle to improve swallowing. The endoscope is equipped with various imaging settings such as white light, TXI, and NBI to enhance visualization and identify lesions and vessels. The endoscopist uses an Irby hybrid knife for injection, cutting, and coagulation. In the second case, a 62-year-old patient with long-segment Barrett's esophagus is found to have an adenocarcinoma. The endoscopist inspects the lesion using magnification and narrowband imaging and performs an endoscopic resection using a Microtech gold knife. The endoscopist also uses acetic acid for better visualization. Both procedures are performed with the patient under general anesthesia to reduce the risk of aspiration and bleeding. Throughout the procedures, the endoscopists demonstrate their techniques and discuss their decision-making processes. The video provides valuable insights into the management of esophageal disorders and the use of advanced endoscopic techniques for diagnosis and treatment.
