Filter by:The aim of the study is to evaluate the usefulness of high-tech endoscopy in clinical practice. The important elements of this evaluation are: - Evaluation of the character of neoplastic lesions in the colon based on different imaging techniques - Verification of the endoscopic image with histopathologic descriptions - Establishing the type of the lesion on the basis of Kudo and NICE classifications - Comparison of the result of histopathological examination with the macroscopic type of the lesion - Determination of the most advanced lesions (MAL) - Comparison of the cecal intubation time - Evaluation of the type of anesthesia used during colonoscopy - Subjective assessment of the severity of pain according to VAS (visual analogue scale) - Comparison of the accuracy of the location of lesions on the basis of endoscopic navigation - Comparison of the total examination time - Comparison of adenoma detection rate
This prospective cohort study is designed to investigate and to compare the diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) and multidetector computed tomography (CT) for gallbladder cholesterol polyps, adenoma and gallbladder cancer.
Adenomas and hyperplastic polyps are polypoid lesions that can occur in any part of the colon. Currently all polyps should be resected endoscopically, however adenomas have the potential to develop into colorectal cancer whereas hyperplastic polyps do not. This approach enables the lesions to be evaluated under the microscope. Currently only the pathological diagnosis can distinguish exactly between adenomas and hyperplastic polyps. Acetic acid (AA) chromoendoscopy is already widely used in order to improve optical determination of mucosal lesions in the upper gastrointestinal tract. In the colon only few studies investigated the impact of AA in differentiating normal mucosa from suspicious mucosa. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the value of spraying acetic acid as an adjunct for optical characterization of colon polyps. Using AA may be beneficial for determining optical diagnoses of colon polyps during real time colonoscopy. This is a single-arm proof of principle study. If colon polyps are found during colonoscopy a 1.5 percent AA solution will be used for chromoendoscopy. Endoscopists are encouraged to use the Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) function of the endoscope prior to the use of AA. After AA is sprayed endoscopists will diagnose the polyp optically. Endoscopists have to predict adenomatous or non-adenomatous histology based upon optical features of the polyp. All polyps will be resected endoscopically so that histopathological diagnoses can be determined. After completing the trial the investigators aim to compare optical and histopathological-based diagnoses of polyps. Histopathological diagnoses will serve as the gold standard. Based upon this information the accuracy of the optical diagnoses will be calculated. The investigators hypothesis is, that optical-based diagnosis using NBI and AA will be accurate in > 75% of all polyp cases.
Diminutive polyps, measuring between 1 and 5 mm, represent the vast majority of colorectal polyps encountered during colonoscopy. Since the chance of harboring advanced adenoma or carcinoma in this kind of polyps is very low, a "remove and discard" technique has been proposed. The differentiation between adenoma/non adenoma polyps is based on the use of endoscopes equipped with high definition, magnification and optical filters.
The purpose of this study is to compare the adenoma detection rate (ADR) of the G-EYE™ colonoscopy with that of standard colonoscopy.
The investigators will investigate the efficacy of EMR compared to CSP in treatment of small colon polp (6~10mm). One aim of this study was to investigate the necessity of EMR on resection of small colon polyp.
With this study, the investigators plan to review the clinical, epidemiology, pathology, and endoscopic features of colon serrated lesions as well as outcome of endoscopic resection of these lesions. The findings will help us define the natural history of colon serrated lesions, develop techniques for endoscopic management of patients with serrated lesions, and identity areas for improvement. The data will be used for continuing quality improvement and presenting our outcomes at academic meetings and publishing our results in peer reviewed journals.
With this study, the investigators plan to review the performance of colonoscopic resection of large (> 1 cm) and flat lesions in the colon. The findings will help us define the role of colonoscopic resection of colon polyps and flat lesions and identity areas for improvement. The data will be used for continuing quality improvement and presenting our outcomes at academic meetings and publishing our results in peer reviewed journals.
The purpose of this prospective, non-interventional study is to validate the Narrow Band Imaging International Colorectal Endoscopic (NICE) classification for differentiating subcentimetric hyperplastic and adenomatous polyps by using Fuji Intelligent Color Enhancement (FICE) technology with high-definition without optical magnification.
Objective:To explore the role of the right portal pedicle and Rouviere's sulcus as an anatomic landmark in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods:The investigators are going to select 60 patients intending to perform Laparoscopic cholecystectomy from April 2014 to April 2015.Check out the presence of the right portal pedicle and Rouviere's sulcus during the surgery and divide into the experimental group and the control group.Experimental group operated in Laparoscopic cholecystectomy with the guide of Rouviere's sulcus while the Control group operated with the traditional way. Research hypothesis:Compare the differences between the Experimental group and the Control group in bile duct injury rate,complication rate,blood loss,operative time ,conversion rate and hospital stay.It is supposed that the results of Experimental group are superior to the control group,difference is statistically significant(P<0.05). So the investigators can draw the conclusion that the anatomy method with the guide of right portal pedicle and Rouviere's sulcus is useful in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
