The Role of Endoscopy in the Management of Dysplasia in IBD

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the advancements in training and accreditation for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and how they benefit patient care. The importance of having a mentor for proper training is highlighted, as well as the significance of accreditation to ensure a global standard of care. Accreditation allows healthcare professionals to identify themselves as trained and qualified. Without accreditation, treating patients with complicated conditions could lead to more questions and potential harm. Dr. Shin emphasizes the need for mentorship and accreditation in providing quality care for patients with IBD.<br /><br />In another part of the video, Dr. Kochar discusses the management of strictures in IBD. He explains the effectiveness of endoscopic procedures like strictureotomy and balloon dilation. Strictureotomy involves widening the bowel using an electro-incision knife, while balloon dilation stretches the stricture with a balloon catheter. Dr. Kochar highlights the importance of cutting scar tissue during strictureotomy and mentions potential complications like bleeding and perforation. The use of injectable steroids is mentioned, but current guidelines do not recommend this approach. Dr. Kochar also discusses the success rates of self-expanding metal stents for strictures and mentions potential future developments such as drug-eluting balloons and 3D printing.<br /><br />Throughout the video, both Dr. Shin and Dr. Kochar stress the need for proper training, expertise, and ongoing education in performing these procedures. They encourage viewers to join the ASGE's Special Interest Group on Intervention in IBD for further support and education.
