Therapeutic endoscopy is a rapidly advancing frontier in the field of gastroenterology. Its use in securing haemostasis has recently flourished. Considerable progress has been made. Various experimental techniques have been tried and found lacking, while others, such as laser photocoagulation, electrohydrocoagulation and endoscopic sclerotherapy, are proving to be very useful. The mortality for upper gastrointestinal bleeding has remained high for decades, despite recent advances in medicine. This may be related to the shift in the population toward the older age group. Recent advances in endoscopic haemostasis seem to be showing promise in improving survival rates. This is a result of improved recognition of risk factors, including the stigmata of recent haemorrhage, of early surgical intervention in the elderly, and of the ability to reliably secure haemostasis endoscopically. This chapter gives an account of the various techniques of endoscopic haemostasis and explains the numerous controversies through the discussion of selected experimental and clinical trials.</p>","PeriodicalId":75717,"journal":{"name":"Clinics in gastroenterology","volume":"15 2","pages":"321-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14647882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Video endoscopy.","authors":"M V Sivak","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>The advent of the video endoscope is the most profound change in the design of gastrointestinal endoscopes since the introduction of the optical fibre bundle. As a television system, it is more expensive than existing systems but surpasses them in quality in my opinion. However, the CCD endoscope will not survive only as a special system for television. Although all the currently available and prototype instruments are acceptable for most aspects of diagnostic endoscopy, there is debate as to whether or not the CCD endoscope will replace the fibrescope. I think that this is a distinct possibility, but in order for the video endoscope to supplant the fibrescope it must not only equal it in all respects but must also surpass it in some significant way. This potential superiority hinges on the inherent versatility of the method by which the video endoscope obtains an endoscopic image. This leads readily to any number of methods of electronic and computerized storage, recall, comparison and transmission of endoscopic data, capabilities that can be used to advantage in many areas. In research that utilizes endoscopic methods it will prove invaluable; properly interfaced with other technological developments it can greatly increase the efficiency of an endoscopy unit. Remarkable as these possibilities may be, however, it is the prospect of computerized and electronic manipulation of the endoscopic images that most threatens the position of the fibrescope. If emerging CCD technology provides useful methods of diagnosis that go beyond simple observation in the visible light spectrum, then the argument will be decided in favour of the video endoscope. What form this will take, and when it will come to pass, remain to be seen.</p>","PeriodicalId":75717,"journal":{"name":"Clinics in gastroenterology","volume":"15 2","pages":"205-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14849851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
