Endoscopy Live Case Demonstration 1 - Doug Rex IU Case 1

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Doug Lekrex from Indiana University showcases a live case demonstration. The patient is a 21-year-old female with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) who wants to maintain her fertility. The options presented are total proctocolectomy with an ileopoietinol anastomosis or subtotal colectomy with preoperative endoscopic clearing of the rectum. The focus is on using cold snaring to remove polyps from the rectum, with the advantages being less risk of complications and greater efficiency compared to using hot snaring. The video shows the endoscopic procedure, discussions on the use of forceps versus snare for removing polyps, and concludes with the application of a tattoo at the proposed surgery site.
