State of the Art Lecture: Role of Endoscopy in the Management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Bo Shen gives a lecture on raw endoscopy and the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). He begins by stating that this is a difficult topic and explains that intervention for IBD is considered to be the less technically skilled option compared to other procedures. He then discusses the three to five-year window period for medical therapy for IBD, explaining that after this time period, complications such as fistulas and strictures may develop, which may require surgery. Dr. Shen emphasizes the role of endoscopy in bridging the gap between medical therapy and surgery, with the goal of reducing the need for lifelong surgery. He discusses various procedures that can be performed endoscopically to manage IBD, including treating strictures, fistulas, and abscesses, and performing structural plasticity. Dr. Shen also touches on the use of endoscopy for diagnosing and managing other luminal lesions associated with IBD, such as bezoars, and mentions the potential for future advancements in the field, such as stem cell therapy. He concludes by highlighting the need for further research and development in understanding the nature of IBD-related complications and improving outcomes for patients. The video is from a lecture given by Dr. Bo Shen and was accessed from an online source.
