Special Issue on “Gastrointestinal Endoscopy – Imaging And Special Issue on “Gastrointestinal Endoscopy – Imaging and Diagnosis instrumentation ” Aim and Scope Journal of Gastroenterology, Pancreatology & Liver Disorders ( JGPLD ) is a peer reviewed open access journal, exclusively designed for the international Scientific community that addresses ongoing research on gastroenterology, which aims to provide a unique platform for publishing high quality research work. The journal aims to frame up an outstanding special issue on Human Nutrition, Gut Bacteria and Fatty Liver Disease. Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is a diagnostic endoscopicprocedure that visualizes the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract up to the duodenum. It is considered a minimally invasiveprocedure since it does not require an incision into one of the major body cavities and does not require any significant recovery after the procedure There are several types of endoscopic procedures used to identify disorders in the gastrointestinal tract. The basic endoscopic procedures available include: Upper endoscopy, Colonoscopy, Push enteroscopy, Double balloon endoscopy. As we are in a step ahead to bring the Current “Gastrointestinal Endoscopy – Imaging and Diagnosis instrumentation” exploration to you, every other in an easy accessible way by your participation and co- operation. Topics The special Issue converges wide range of topics and some of them are listed below: Capsule endoscopy Measuring endoscopy Imaging instrumentation and Novel advances in Gastroendoscopy • Esophagogastroduodenoscopy - oesophagus, stomach and duodenum • Enteroscopy - small intestine • Colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy - large intestine/colon • Magnification endoscopy • Ultrasound endoscope - endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography - bile duct • Endoscopy snare - polypectomy and endoscopic foreign body removal • Rectoscopy - rectum • Anoscopy - anus • Proctoscopy • PEG – Tube Clinical effects and manifestations after endoscopic procedures Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) Endoscopic Tattooing of Carcinomas • Colorectal Carcinomas Early detection of gastric cancers • Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection Detecting Malignant Progression by endoscopy Submissions All kinds of papers are invited.

    Practice Parameters For The Treatment Of Patients With Dominantly Inherited Colorectal Cancer Diseases of the Colon & Rectum 2003;46(8):1001-1012 Prepared by: The Standards Task Force The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons James Church, MD; Clifford Simmang, MD; On Behalf of the Collaborative Group of the Americas on Inherited Colorectal Cancer and the Standards Committee of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons. The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons is dedicated to assuring high quality patient care by advancing the science, prevention, and management of disorders and diseases of the colon, rectum, and anus. The standards committee is composed of Society members who are chosen because they have demonstrated expertise in the specialty of colon and rectal surgery. This Committee was created in order to lead international efforts in defining quality care for conditions related to the colon, rectum, and anus. This is accompanied by developing Clinical Practice Guidelines based on the best available evidence. These guidelines are inclusive, and not prescriptive. Their purpose is to provide information on which decisions can be made, rather than dictate a specific form of treatment. These guidelines are intended for the use of all practitioners, health care workers, and patients who desire information about the management of the conditions addressed by the topics covered in these guidelines. Practice Parameters for the Treatment of Patients With Dominantly Inherited Colorectal Cancer Inherited colorectal cancer includes two main syndromes in which predisposition to the disease is based on a germline mutation that may be transmitted from parent to child.

  • Colon and Rectal Surgery Case Log Instructions Review Committee for Colon and Rectal Surgery
    Colon and Rectal Surgery Case Log Instructions Review Committee for Colon and Rectal Surgery Background The ACGME Case Log System is a data depository which provides a mechanism that supports programs in complying with requirements, and also provides a uniform mechanism to verify the clinical education of residents among programs. The Case Log System is designed to capture and categorize a resident’s experience with patient care. It was initially instituted in 2001, and the Review Committee for Colon and Rectal Surgery has required its use by accredited programs since 2005. It is the intention of the Review Committee for Colon and Rectal Surgery that each resident has a reasonably equivalent educational experience to prepare for the practice of the specialty. As part of the process, the case numbers for each resident completing a program are collected and analyzed. To accomplish this complex task, a structured database has been created using standard codes for diagnoses and procedures. The Case Log System helps assess the breadth and depth of clinical experience provided to each colon and rectal surgery resident by his or her program with the ultimate goal of improving the programs themselves. It is the responsibility of the individual residents to accurately and in a timely manner enter their case data. The data entered will be monitored by the program directors and analyzed by the Review Committee. Separate analysis reports are created annually for the Committee, for program directors, and for residents. Additionally, the ACGME provides information regarding individual residents’ experience to the American Board of Colon and Rectal Surgery (ABCRS) as one criterion for their admission to the ABCRS’s exam process.

L e i g h t o n , M D , F A C G 4 Bleeding from the small intestine remains a relatively uncommon event, accounting for ~5–10% of all patients presenting with gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Given advances in small bowel imaging with video capsule endoscopy (VCE), deep enteroscopy, and radiographic imaging, the cause of bleeding in the small bowel can now be identifi ed in most patients. The term small bowel bleeding is therefore proposed as a replacement for the previous classifi cation of obscure GI bleeding (OGIB). We recommend that the term OGIB should be reserved for patients in whom a source of bleeding cannot be identifi ed anywhere in the GI tract. A source of small bowel bleeding should be considered in patients with GI bleeding after performance of a normal upper and lower endoscopic examination. Second-look examinations using upper endoscopy, push enteroscopy, and/or colonoscopy can be performed if indicated before small bowel evaluation. VCE should be considered a fi rst-line procedure for small bowel investigation. Any method of deep enteroscopy can be used when endoscopic evaluation and therapy are required.

  • Endoscopic Technique for Diag- Nostic Investigations and Therapeutic Interventions of Small Bowel Pathology
    ENDOSCOPY: OPENING NEW EYES, SERIES #3 Andrew K. Roorda, M.D., Series Editor The Evolution of Enteroscopy to Spiral Enteroscopy Disaya Chavalitdhamrong Rome Jutabha The diagnosis and treatment of small bowel diseases has historically proven difficult and challenging for gastroenterologists. Although sonde and push enteroscopy were developed first, the former is time-consuming and uncomfortable and the latter limits examination to the proximal jejunum. Intraoperative enteroscopy, which was once con- sidered the gold standard of enteroscopy, has largely been replaced by newer less inva- sive techniques. Capsule endoscopy provides a thorough examination of the small bowel but it does not allow for therapeutic interventions. Balloon-assisted enteroscopy was developed for complete examination of the small bowel and therapeutic interven- tions. Spiral enteroscopy has emerged as a viable alternative to balloon-assisted enteroscopy. It is a safe, effective, and relatively rapid endoscopic technique for diag- nostic investigations and therapeutic interventions of small bowel pathology. This arti- cle reviews the milestone technologies of enteroscopy highlighting the latest developed spiral enteroscopy. INTRODUCTION form endoscopic treatments. With the development of ndoscopic diagnosis and treatment of small bowel balloon-assisted enteroscopy and most recently, spiral conditions is a challenging area for gastroenterol- enteroscopy, endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of Eogists. Until recently, it was not possible to access the entire small intestine are now feasible without most of the small bowel using endoscopic techniques operative intervention. As indications expand and without concomitant surgery. Capsule endoscopy and caseloads grow, it is important for gastroenterologists balloon-assisted enteroscopy thus represent decisive to know how these procedures are done and to be breakthroughs in this field.

Literature review current through: Sep 2014. | This topic last updated: Oct 23, 2013. INTRODUCTION — Evaluation of the small bowel is difficult due to its length, intraperitoneal location, and contractility. Methods used to evaluate the small bowel include push enteroscopy, video capsule endoscopy, and intraoperative enteroscopy. These techniques all have advantages and limitations: ● Push enteroscopy has both diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities, but typically only examines that part of the small bowel that is 50 to 150 cm distal to the ligament of Treitz ● Video capsule endoscopy is capable of examining the entire small bowel, but lacks therapeutic capacity ● Intraoperative enteroscopy permits examination of the entire small bowel and therapeutic interventions, but is much more invasive Alternative endoscopic approaches have been developed to overcome these limitations. Deep small bowel enteroscopy permits visualization and interventional therapy throughout the small bowel by using insertion techniques that pleat the small bowel onto an overtube. The techniques used for deep small bowel enteroscopy limit stretching of the small bowel (as occurs with
