Abstract

Enteroscopy in the new millennium will involve the development of instruments and accessories to allow deeper therapeutic intervention in the small bowel. There are also four new areas of development that involve the field of enteroscopy. These areas are the development of improved push enteroscopes, the development of laparoscopically assisted enteroscopy, the development of virtual enteroscopy, and gene research in the field of vascular anomalies of the gut.

Small-intestinal endoscopy.

A small imaging capsule without cables, wires, or external connections has been developed for exploration of the small bowel. This swallowable device is propelled by peristalsis through the intestinal tract, and transmits data to a nearby receiver that captures video images on a regular basis. This technology will soon be available throughout the world, and it promises to revolutionize deep endoscopy of the small bowel. Sonde enteroscopy will be laid to rest forever. There continues to be considerable interest in the use of push enteroscopy in the investigation of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. Physicians are beginning to rely more on intraoperative enteroscopy, because of its high degree of accuracy and its ability to provide visualization of the entire small bowel in selected patients in whom the bleeding source cannot be diagnosed, but who require blood transfusions.

A new face-mounted display system: pilot trial of clinical application in therapeutic endoscopy.

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Since fiber endoscopes evolved into video endoscopes, there has been no remarkable progression in the optical system for endoscopy. The current optical system provided by fixed cathode-ray tube (CRT) display is a monitor-oriented system. In this study, we evaluate the practical usefulness of the face-mounted display (FMD), which provides us with an operator-oriented optical system. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The FMD device, weighing 110 g, is designed for consumer video home use, consisting of two active matrix liquid crystal color panels with 180,000-pixel resolution. With the picture-in-picture capability, FMD provided us with image-navigated endoscopic procedure. Fourteen patients were enrolled in this study; seven patients for endoscopic mucosal resection, two for insertion of an esophageal metallic stent, three for clipping for the bleeding and two for dilatation of anastomotic strictures. RESULTS: The FMD device allowed us to use an ultra large screen as if there has been a 62-inch screen 2 m ahead. During endoscopy, we could concentrate more on the procedures. There were no complications attributable to the use of the device. CONCLUSION: We are convinced of a new evolution in the optical system for therapeutic endoscopy with the FMD device.
