BACKGROUND There have been conflicting reports as to whether pancreatic ductal drainage achieved by endoscopy and lithotripsy improves the clinical outcome of patients with chronic pancreatitis. AIMS To determine in pancreatitis who received extracorporeal shock wave (ESWL), were followed up for two eight years. METHODS Eighty severe endoscopically unretrievable obstructive stones underwent ESWL a piezoelectric lithotripter between 1989 1996. Clinical status, relief symptoms, further...
Einleitung: Die Kapselendoskopie ist eine neue Methode, die nicht invasive diagnostische Endoskopie des gesamten Dünndarms ermöglicht. In dieser Studie untersuchten wir prospektiv Genauigkeit der im Vergleich zur Push-Enteroskopie bei Patienten mit obskurer gastrointestinaler Blutung. Methodik: Zwischen Juli 2001 und Oktober 2002 48 vermuteter Dünndarmerkrankung Kapselendoskopie. 33 Blutung (19 Männer, 14 Frauen, mittleres Alter 58 ± 23 Jahre) unauffälliger bidirektionaler wurden untersucht....
Background and Study Aims: Endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) is the standard procedure for gaining access to common bile duct removal of stones. However, associated with both short-term long-term complications. Recent reports have described use endoscopic papillary balloon dilation (EBD) as an effective safe alternative EST. We conducted a prospective randomized pilot study compare efficacy complication rates these two established methods removing uncomplicated
To prospectively compare dark-lumen magnetic resonance (MR) colonography with conventional colonoscopy in the detection of colorectal polyps.Local ethical committee approval and informed consent were obtained. One hundred consecutive patients (56 men, 44 women; mean age +/- standard deviation, 67.7 years 14.7; range, 25-82 years) who referred for from January 2003 to 2004 underwent MR after precolonoscopic bowel cleansing. Colonoscopy was performed immediately colonography. For colonography,...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: To compare extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and laser induced (LISL) of retained bile duct stones to stone free rate, number therapeutic sessions, costs. PATIENTS: Thirty four patients were randomly assigned either ESWL or LISL therapy. The main reasons for failure standard endoscopy due impaction (n = 12), biliary stricture 8), large diameter 14). METHODS: An piezoelectic lithotripter with ultrasonic guidance a rhodamine 6G an integrated tissue detection...
Background and Study Aims: The present study tries to evaluate the success rate of MRCP when two attempts by experts perform ERCP in a center failed.
AbstractBackground: Esophageal perforation is one of the most dreaded complications in therapeutic gastrointestinal endoscopy. We assessed frequency esophageal after endoscopic procedures a highly specialized endoscopy unit and compared clinical outcomes patients undergoing either surgical or conservative management. Methods: From January 1985 to June 1996, 1011 instrumental (dilatation bougienage) were performed our department. The computerized complication database was searched identify...
In mucin-producing tumors of the pancreas, diagnosis using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is limited to cystic formations that communicate with main pancreatic duct. Magnetic resonance (MRCP) a new, sophisticated method which currently under evaluation. The authors describe usefulness MRCP in tumors.Six patients were investigated and ERCP. Imaging was compared surgery histopathological examinations.Three found have mucinous cystadenomas (MC), two had intraductal...
Die Kapselendoskopie ist ein neues diagnostisches Verfahren zur Detektion von Dünndarmerkrankungen, insbesondere bei Patienten mit obskurer intestinaler Blutung. Wir berichten über einen 76-jährigen Patienten, der sich den Zeichen einer gastrointestinalen Blutung und Eisenmangelanämie in unserer Klinik vorstellte. bidirektionale Endoskopie, die Push-Enteroskopie, Angiographie sowie Röntgen-Sellink zeigten unauffälligen Befund. In dann Nachweis polypösen Raumforderung im mittleren Dünndarm....
Intrahepatic lithiasis still is a complicated disease and merits special attention during therapeutic intervention. Although resection of the affected liver lobe or segment best option to completely remove source recurrent infection, need for endoscopic treatment modalities evident because hepatic resections are combined with high morbidity mortality rate.Over 10-year period (1988-1997) 55 patients intrahepatic stones that were not accessible routine extraction treated at our department....
Due to the growing diabetes pandemic, number of colonoscopies performed in patients with is steadily rising. However, recommendations on adjustments anti-hyperglycaemic agents (AHG) during bowel preparation for colonoscopy are limited.A total nine articles were revealed a PubMed search using terms "diabetes" and "colonoscopy", "sigmoidoscopy", "endoscopy", "endoscopic intervention", invasive diagnostics", surgery", or "diabetes care hospital" manual screening references reporting AHG...
Background and Goals: Magnetic resonance (MR) enterography provides the advantages of conventional enteroclysis those cross-sectional imaging. Adequate luminal distension, combined with ultrafast sequences, results in excellent delineation mural extramural manifestations Crohn’s disease. Recent technical advances, including ultra–high-field strength MR its capability to provide fast multiplanar images soft tissue contrast, are only rarely included abdominal studies. Study: One hundred four...
