DIRECT ENDOSCOPIC NECROSECTOMY USING THE NOVEL 5 MM POWERED ENDOSCOPIC DEBRIDEMENT DEVICE - THE LARGER WINNER?

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video demonstrates the use of a novel 5 millimeter powered endoscopic debridement device for direct endoscopic necrosectomy (DEN) in patients with symptomatic Waldorf necrosis (WAN). The conventional accessories used for DEN are cumbersome and time-consuming, while the novel device performs multiple functions of debridement, including suction, irrigation, and tissue dissection. The video presents two cases in which the 5 millimeter device was used to remove necrotic tissue from the cavity and promote healing. The device has a larger catheter diameter, allowing for the debridement of larger tissue pieces. It offers technical and clinical advantages, reducing procedure time and complications. Further studies are needed to evaluate its efficacy.<br />Credit: Authors - Shruti Mouni, Michael Bejjani, Bashir Ghandour, and Professor Mohin Kashyap.
