Advanced Endoscopy Fellows Program | September 2022-Lab Hands-On Virtual Demonstration Part 1

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is a recording of a live endoscopy course. The presenters are Mo Al-Haddad, a professor of medicine at Indiana University, and Katie Vozo, an advanced endoscopy fellow at Case Western University. The video begins with an introduction and an explanation of the virtual option for the hands-on course. The presenters mention the techniques they plan to cover, including basic ERCP, EOS, and therapeutic endoscopy. They have a tabletop model set up that simulates the human anatomy, specifically the liver, gallbladder, and bile duct. They demonstrate the use of a side-viewing scope to navigate through the stomach and locate the pylorus. The presenters answer questions and address difficulties they encounter during the demonstration. They also discuss the importance of position and stability when performing ERCP. Then, they transition to demonstrating an EOS-guided FNA (fine needle aspiration) procedure on a simulated gallbladder-like structure. They emphasize the importance of position and technique in obtaining an adequate sample. The presenters then demonstrate the deployment of a LAMS (lumen-apposing metal stent) and discuss its applications in draining pancreatic and peripancreatic fluid collections. They go through the four-step deployment process and show the drainage achieved through the LAMS. The video ends with a brief discussion of liver biopsy techniques using a fine needle biopsy device. The presenters explain the benefits of obtaining solid liver tissue for histopathology and mention the slow-pull technique as well as the use of the acquire 19-gauge needle for better tissue sampling.
