Lecture 26: Principles of Minimally Invasive Surgery (Exam 3) Flashcards
What is the goal of minimally invasive surgery
- Brief overview
- Endoscopic techniques
- principles & description of equipment
Define endoscopy
Use of an instrument (endoscope) to visualize interior of organ or body cavity that cannot be examined w/o surgery
Define flexible endoscopy
Endoscope that bends to look &/or move around corners (ability to make bends greater than 180 degrees for most scopes)
What are the components of a flexible endoscope & what are they used for
- Handle - where scope is held by the operator
- Insertion tube - part inserted into px
- Umbilical cord - Part attaches scope to light source & video processor
- Biopsy channel - allows instrument placement through scope
What do immersible scopes have
Handles placed in water w/out risk of damage
Label the following
Define a rigid endoscopy
Plastic or metal scope that can’t bend
What are the parts of a rigid endocscope & what to they do
- Lens - @ the scope tip to allow looking @ various angles even-180 degrees backwards
- Obturator - Device placed through hollow endoscopy to facilitate insertion of scope into organ
- Trocar - Obturator w/ sharp point to facilitate penetration through tissue
How is rigid endoscopy inserted into the body
- Into the body through skin & soft tissue or a natural orifice
Define portals
Insertion through the skin
What are the two types of portals
- scope inserted through scope or camera portal
- Power & hand tolls inserted through instrument portal
What are cannulas
Metal tubes that maintain portals & protect instruments
What is triangulation
Visualization of instruments through scope to perform biopsies or therapeutic procedures w/in the body cavity
Define gastroduodenoscopy
Endoscopy of esophagus, stomach, & duodenum (occasionally upper jejunum)
Define colonoscopy
Endoscopy of the colon
Define Ileoscopy
Endoscopy of ileum (performed w/ colonoscopy)
Define Proctoscopy
Examination of the anus & rectum
Define bronchoscopy
Endoscopy of the trachea & bronchi
Define Laryngoscopy
Examination of pharynx & larynx
Define rhinoscopy
Endoscopy of the anterior nares & examining nasal passages (may include examination of the choanae)
Define Cystoscopy
- Endoscopy of the urinary bladder
- Can be a retrograde or a transabdominal cystoscopy
What is the diff btw/ an retrograde and a transabdominal cystoscopy
- Retrograde is advancing the scope through the urethra & into the bladder
- Transabdominal is placing a scope thru cannula thru the abdominal wall & the bladder wall
Define a vaginoscopy
Endoscopy of the vagina
What is a laparoscopy
- Endoscopy of the peritoneal cavity
- Can be used for dx (concerned w/ biopsy of organ)
- Interventional - to perform min invasive sx (like gastropexy or jejunostomy tube placement)
