Complications of surgical endoscopy

Background: This study examines the notion that gastrointestinal endoscopy performed by supervised surgical residents is safe. Methods: We reviewed all gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures performed by surgical residents with faculty supervision for complications and deaths occurring up to 30 days following the procedures. Results: The overall complication rate for 9,201 upper and lower endoscopy procedures was 1.4% and 0.42%, respectively. Overall mortality rate was 0.76% for upper endoscopy and 0.6% for lower endoscopy. No mortality was a direct result of a procedure-related complication. Intestinal perforation, drug overdose, bleeding, and aspiration were the most common procedure-related complications. Each resident completed an average of 75 upper endoscopies and 79 lower endoscopies during their training period. Conclusions: Gastrointestinal endoscopy can be performed safely by surgical residents with appropriate supervision. The higher morbidity and mortality of upper endoscopy are most likely related to the underlying disease rather than the procedure. Awareness of common complications and application of appropriate precautions and instruction are critical for minimizing complications. Received 25 March 1996/Accepted: 24 April 1996     

超声内镜与胃镜检查对上消化道黏膜下肿瘤的诊断效果分析

目的探讨超声内镜与胃镜对上消化道黏膜下肿瘤的诊断效果。方法选择2015年3月至2018年2月确诊的60例上消化道黏膜下肿瘤患者,均行胃镜检查和超声内镜检查,分析其与病理检查的符合率以及超声内镜检查的回声特点,并记录超声内镜检查的敏感性和特异性。结果以病理检查结果为标准,超声内镜检查的符合率为90.00%,明显高于胃镜检查的73.33%(P <0.05)。超声内镜检查对黏膜肌层肿瘤诊断的敏感性为90.32%,特异性为93.55%;对黏膜下层肿瘤诊断的敏感性为93.33%,特异性为93.75%;对固有肌层肿瘤诊断的敏感性为85.71%,特异性为97.87%。结论与胃镜检查相比,超声内镜在上消化道黏膜下肿瘤中的诊断价值更高,能够对病变的性质、部位及来源作出准确的诊断。     

残胃癌的外科治疗

目的：分析和总结残胃癌外科治疗结果。方法：回顾分析１９８６年至１９９７年间我院收治的１９例残胃癌的临床表现、治疗及生存结果。结果：残胃癌缺乏相对特异的症状。５３８％患者术前有不同程度的贫血。手术切除率及根治切除率分别为７８９％和６８４％。手术并发症率为２６３％。该组总５年生存比率及１３例根治手术后的５年生存比率分别为２３５％和３６４％。该组４例Ⅰ期、Ⅱ期病例术后均得到长期生存;９例Ⅲ期、Ⅳ期病例根治术后１年、２年、５年生存比率分别为７７８％、４４４％、２２２％。５例行姑息或探查术病例,其术后生存均不到１年。结论：积极外科手术尤其是根治手术是残胃癌有效治疗手段,对于早期病变,术后有良好的预后;对于中晚期病例,可延长生命,部分病例仍可能得到长期生存。早期诊断是提高预后的关键。残胃手术并发症相对较多。改善患者术前营养状况是降低并发症的重要方面

目的：探讨丙泊酚联合瑞芬太尼应用在无痛胃镜检查中的麻醉效果及对上消化道蠕动情况影响。方法选择行无痛胃镜检查的患者130例,采用随机数字表法分为观察组和对照组,对照组采用丙泊酚麻醉,观察组联合瑞芬太尼进行麻醉,记录麻醉效果。结果观察组麻醉优良率为93．85％,对照组麻醉优良率为80．00％,组间差异有统计学意义（χ2＝5．481,P ＜0．05）。观察组丙泊酚用量（1．73±0．24）mg／kg、患者清醒时间（5．91±1．03）min、离院时间（14．58±2．79）min,对照组丙泊酚用量（3．06±0．57）mg／kg、患者清醒时间（9．44±1．87）min、离院时间（22．05±4．86）min,组间差异均有统计学意义（t ＝17．337、13．330、10.747,均 P ＜0．05）。上消化道蠕动观察组轻度36例、中度24例、剧烈5例,对照组轻度23例、中度27例、剧烈15例,组间差异有统计学意义（χ2＝5．376,P ＜0．05）。结论丙泊酚联合瑞芬太尼应用在无痛胃镜检查中麻醉效果优于单纯丙泊酚麻醉,对患者上消化道系统影响小,丙泊酚用量少,可缩短患者清醒时间和离院时间,值得在临床上推广应用。     

One- or two-operator techniques for oesophago-gastro-duodenoscopy in unsedated patients: A comparative prospective randomized study

BackgroundThe standard oesophago-gastro-duodenoscopy procedure is performed with a single endoscopist (SE). Nurse-assisted (NA) oesophago-gastro-duodenoscopies have not yet been studied. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of an NA endoscopy compared to an SE endoscopy.MethodsA prospective, single-center, randomized trial, in which 500 adult patients were divided into two groups. In the first group, patients underwent an endoscopy with an SE. In the second group, the endoscopy was performed with an NA. The ease of the procedure (scores 1–4; 1 difficult, 2 satisfactory, 3 easy, 4 very easy), evaluation of patient satisfaction (scores 1–4; 1 uncomfortable, 2 satisfactory, 3 comfortable, 4 very comfortable), total time of the procedure and vocal cord observation were determined as quality indicators.ResultsMean patient satisfaction scores in groups 1 and 2 were 2.98 ± 0.79 and 3.11 ± 0.78, respectively (p = 0.043), with uncomfortable ratings in 5.2% vs 4%, satisfactory in 16.8% vs 13.2%, comfortable in 53.2% vs 50.4%, and very comfortable in 24.8% vs 32.4% of patients in groups 1 and 2, respectively. Retching rates during the procedure were 54.4% and 45.2% (p = 0.040) in groups 1 and 2, respectively. No differences were seen in vocal cord observation (54.4% vs 56.0%), total procedure time (2.35 ± 1.56 vs 2.41 ± 1.48 min) and easy score (3.26 ± 0.603 vs 3.25 ± 0.64) in groups 1 and 2 for the procedures. Very easy, easy, satisfactory, and difficult ratings were given by 33.6% vs 34.8%, 60.4% vs 56.4%, 4.8% vs 7.6% and 1.2% vs 1.2% of groups 1 and 2, respectively.ConclusionsCompared with the conventional method, the assisted endoscopic technique provides more comfort and less gag reflex without increasing the processing time or difficulty of performing the procedure.     

Documento de posicionamiento de la AEG,la SEED y la SEAP sobre calidad de la endoscopia digestiva alta para la detección y vigilancia de las lesiones precursoras de cáncer gástrico

This position paper, sponsored by the Asociación Española de Gastroenterología [Spanish Association of Gastroenterology], the Sociedad Española de Endoscopia Digestiva [Spanish Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Society] and the Sociedad Española de Anatomía Patológica [Spanish Anatomical Pathology Society], aims to establish recommendations for performing an high quality upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for the screening of gastric cancer precursor lesions (GCPL) in low-incidence populations, such as the Spanish population. To establish the quality of the evidence and the levels of recommendation, we used the methodology based on the GRADE system (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation). We obtained a consensus among experts using a Delphi method. The document evaluates different measures to improve the quality of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in this setting and makes recommendations on how to evaluate and treat the identified lesions. We recommend that upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for surveillance of GCPL should be performed by endoscopists with adequate training, administering oral premedication and use of sedation. To improve the identification of GCPL, we recommend the use of high definition endoscopes and conventional or digital chromoendoscopy and, for biopsies, NBI should be used to target the most suspicious areas of intestinal metaplasia. Regarding the evaluation of visible lesions, the risk of submucosal invasion should be evaluated with magnifying endoscopes and endoscopic ultrasound should be reserved for those with suspected deep invasion. In lesions amenable to endoscopic resection, submucosal endoscopic dissection is considered the technique of choice.
