Therapeutic Endoscopy

Therapeutic Endoscopy

Therapeutic endoscopy is a medical procedure used to treat conditions within the upper gastrointestinal tract, such as the mouth, esophagus, stomach, or small intestine. Initially performed for diagnosis, it may turn into a treatment procedure based on findings, like removing polyps during a colonoscopy or treating a bleeding ulcer. An endoscope, a long tube with a light and camera, is inserted into the body to closely examine and treat the targeted area.

Conditions Treated:

Acute Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas caused by digestive enzymes attacking its own tissue, which can become life-threatening if untreated.

Barrett’s Esophagus: A pre-cancerous condition where acid reflux causes changes in the esophageal lining, increasing the risk of esophageal cancer.

Chronic Pancreatitis: Long-term inflammation of the pancreas leading to permanent damage and recurring episodes of pain, worsening over time.

Pancreatic Cysts: Fluid-filled masses in the pancreas that can cause pain or may have cancerous potential, requiring proper diagnosis.

Pancreatic Cancer: Malignant tumors originating in the pancreas.

Pancreatic Stones: Hardened deposits in the pancreas that can block ducts and cause pain.

Procedure:

•    Inspection of the pancreatic duct

•    Draining pancreatic cysts

•    Pain management for pancreatitis

•    Treatment of cystic tumors in the pancreas

•    Removal of pancreatic stones

•    Care for patients with modified intestinal anatomy

•    Various other endoscopic procedures

Benefits

Therapeutic endoscopy is beneficial for treating various conditions such as stomach ulcers, esophageal bleeding from reflux, and cancers of the mouth, lung, and stomach. It is also used to address esophageal strictures, remove benign growths, and provide feeding tubes for patients unable to eat.

Risks

Individuals who undergo therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) have a minor risk of complications, such as severe pancreatitis, infections, bowel perforation, or bleeding.
