Project description:Background and aimsIntraoperative perforation is a major adverse event of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). To avoid perforation, it is important for the endoscope to approach the portion to be resected carefully and to ensure that the knife can approach the submucosa at an angle parallel to the muscle layer. The multibending endoscope has 2 bends at its tip and may facilitate the ESD procedure. To the best of our knowledge, very few studies have reported the use of the multibending endoscope during gastric ESD. The aim of this study was, therefore, to introduce the usefulness of the multibending endoscope for gastric ESD.MethodsWe report 2 cases of early gastric cancer in which ESD was performed using a multibending endoscope.ResultsUnlike conventional single-bending endoscopes that have only 1 moveable part, the multibending endoscope allowed difficult areas to be approached more easily. Small adjustments could be made to the upward or downward angle of both the first and the second bending sections of the endoscope. This ensured that the knife would approach the submucosa at an angle parallel to the muscle layer. In patient 1, initially the conventional endoscope was used, but it became more difficult to approach the site, and paradoxic movement occurred. When the conventional endoscope was changed to the multibending endoscope, the ESD procedure became safer and more efficient. Another ESD using the multibending endoscope was performed successfully without any adverse events.ConclusionsThe use of a multibending endoscope for ESD will enable safer and faster treatment of patients.

Project description:The usefulness of endoscope-assisted microsurgical removal of vestibular schwannomas in the internal auditory canal (IAC) was evaluated. Microsurgical removal using the endoscope was done in 28 procedures and microsurgical removal without an endoscope was done in 43 procedures. A retrosigmoid approach was used. The tumor location in the IAC was classified as grade 1 (located up to the mid-portion), 2, 3, or 4 (located up to the fundus with bony destruction) according to the tumor extent, and residual tumor in the IAC was evaluated as grade A (remnant tumor was not observed), B, C, or D (remnant tumor was observed over the mid-portion) according to the extent of remnant tumor. The residual tumor in the IAC was less in the endoscope-assisted group than in the microsurgery group. There was a significant difference only in grade 2, that is, tumor located beyond the mid-portion of the IAC. There was no significant difference in the results of preservation of useful hearing, facial nerve function, and tumor recurrence between the two groups. The benefit of endoscope-assistance microsurgery was shown for those patients whose tumors extended beyond the mid-portion of the IAC but did not reach the fundus.

Project description:The gastrointestinal tract is a challenging anatomical target for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for bleeding, polyps and cancerous growths. Advanced endoscopes that combine imaging and therapies within the gastrointestinal tract provide an advantage over stand-alone diagnostic or therapeutic devices. However, current multimodal endoscopes lack the spatial resolution necessary to detect and treat small cancers and other abnormalities. Here we present a multifunctional endoscope-based interventional system that integrates transparent bioelectronics with theranostic nanoparticles, which are photoactivated within highly localized space near tumours or benign growths. These advanced electronics and nanoparticles collectively enable optical fluorescence-based mapping, electrical impedance and pH sensing, contact/temperature monitoring, radio frequency ablation and localized photo/chemotherapy, as the basis of a closed-loop solution for colon cancer treatment. In vitro, ex vivo and in vivo experiments highlight the utility of this technology for accurate detection, delineation and rapid targeted therapy of colon cancer or precancerous lesions.

Project description:Indocyanine green (ICG) is a cyanine dye useful for visualizing blood vessels; it has been developed for endoscopy and is used in skull base surgery. Endoscopy is widely used for hematoma removal after an intracerebral hemorrhage since it is minimally invasive and has a shorter operation time than craniotomy. However, with this technique the surgical field is limited and it is difficult to obtain an adequate orientation; thus, it is challenging to locate the bleeding point, and postoperative rebleeding has been reported. We performed intraoperative ICG near-infrared fluorescence imaging to locate the bleeding point. This purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of ICG angiography during endoscopic hematoma removal in two patients, using two endoscope types and comparing their visualization of perforating branches during the procedure. ICG angiography was performed in two different cases of putaminal hemorrhage, using the SPIES NIR/ICG-System and IMAGE1 S Rubina (both KARL STORZ, Tuttlingen, Germany) at the intraoperative bleeding site. The intraoperative use of ICG allowed the clear visualization of the perforating branches and real-time confirmation of active bleeding. We could also distinguish an old hematoma from the active bleeding point. The IMAGE1 S Rubina has adequate brightness for contrast enhancement, allowing surgical manipulation simultaneously to the enhancement phase.ICG fluorescence angiography is useful to identify the damaged vessel and perform hemostasis. We expect other similar devices to be developed in the future, accompanied by flexible and thin rigid endoscopes.

Project description:The indication for surgical intervention in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage remains controversial. Although many clinical trials have failed to demonstrate its efficacy over medical treatment, less invasive endoscopic treatment is expected to demonstrate its superiority. A novel endoscopic system for hematoma removal consisting of a 3.1-mm-diameter 4K high-resolution rigid endoscope was used.The system was used in eight cases of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. It provided improved maneuverability of the surgical instrument while maintaining satisfactory image quality. The surgical goal was achieved in all cases without any complications, including perioperative rebleeding.Endoscopic hematoma removal using the 3.1 mm high-resolution endoscope is an alternative minimally invasive approach to spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage with improved reliability.
