DIVERSE ENDOSCOPIC APPLICATIONS OF A NOVEL DYNAMIC RIGIDIZING OVERTUBE

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the use of a novel dynamic rigidizing overtube for diverse endoscopic applications. The overtube is flexible but becomes 15 times more rigid when suction is applied. It has been shown to be beneficial in challenging colonoscopies, complex polypectomies, ERCP in post-surgical anatomy, retrograde and endoscopies. The video showcases three cases where the overtube was used successfully. In the first case, it helped advance the colonoscope past loop formations. In the second and third cases, it provided stability and control during endoscopic mucosal resection. The overtube is deemed helpful in various endoscopic procedures, reducing anesthesia time, procedure risk, and endoscopist demand. No credits were provided in the video.
