Beside the technological development of the modalities, secondary image-reconstruction procedures are of increasing interest for diagnostic purposes and preoperative planning. Recently the simulation of endoscopic views--so called virtual endoscopy--has become available for presenting volume datasets. This new technique, usually based on CT and MRT data-sets, leads to new possibilities for examination of gastrointestinal organs and vasculature. Most interest has focussed on colon examinations, depending on a detailed knowledge of the technical procedure of the examination and additional experience of endoscopic techniques of the examiner. The procedures for the different parts of the gastrointestinal tract are explained.
We present an effective and simple technique for performing endoscopy of an ileal conduit. With a laparoscopic insufflation port in the stoma, a flexible cystoscope or ureteroscope can be inserted. The one-way valve of the port prevents leakage of irrigation fluid and allows the conduit to distend for optimal visualization. This technique is particularly useful when access to the upper urinary tracts is needed.
