First Year Fellows Endoscopy Course (Aug 8-9) | 2021-Therapeutic Colonoscopy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video transcript, the speaker covers three major topics: lower GI bleeding, polypectomy (EMR and ESD), and complications in colonoscopy. They discuss how lower GI bleeding is classified into chronic and acute and the recommended diagnostic approach based on patient characteristics. They also explain the different techniques used in polypectomy, including the use of hot and cold snare, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The importance of proper injection techniques during EMR and ESD is emphasized. The speaker demonstrates how to perform these procedures using videos and explains the potential complications such as delayed bleeding and post-polypectomy syndrome. Lastly, they discuss the causes and prevention of colon perforation during scope insertion, focusing on mechanical rupture and diverticula. The management of colon perforation is also discussed, ranging from surgery to endoscopic treatment.
