Recent developments in Endoscopy- New Endoscopes and Endoscope Capsules
With the application of robotic systems,
telesurgery was introduced as the surgeon could operate from a site
physically removed from the patient. The first transatlantic surgery
has been called the Lindburgh Operation. In 2001, Given
Imaging introduced the first pill-sized endoscopic capsule with a
camera. Over the following years other manufacturers introduced new
models with additional improvements. 1 cm x 2 cm endoscopic capsules
can capture 0.4 megapixel video at up to 30 frames/second. They can
even give doctors rotational control over the capsule to adjust the
camera direction, can take tissue samples and can deliver medications
to patient's body. The capsules cost upwards from $120 and can be
powered by battery and controled through wireless transmission.
What is an Endoscope?
In case any students stumble upon this site, endoscope racks, or endoscope wall racks are simply racks that holds an endoscope, and endoscope cabinets are
simply cabinets that holds one. What is an endoscopy?. It is
a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the interior
surfaces of an organ by inserting a small scope in the body, often but
not necessarily through a natural body opening. Through the scope, one
is able to see lesions.
Many endoscopic procedures are relatively painless and only associated with
mild discomfort, though patients are sedated for most procedures. Rigid endoscopes are used in situations when a firmer, unbending rod is needed. There are many companies that handle endoscope repair as well as sell used endoscopes (preowned endoscopes) and endoscope accessories such as endoscope racks and cabinets.
