What Does an Endoscopy Technician Do?

Modern minimally invasive surgery without endoscopic technology will replace traditional surgery, and it is undergoing rapid changes. Among them, the application of endoscope technology has more important significance. Known as "the third eye of human beings", it is a non-invasive device of "optical fiber" for ENT diagnosis and treatment that integrates "examination-diagnosis-treatment". This is the first breakthrough in the use of optical fibers in the history of human medicine.

Endoscope technology

The rapid development of modern medical science and technology. The most direct benefit to patients is that through advanced technology, the operation is getting simpler, the wound is getting smaller and smaller, and the effect is getting better and better. Surgery is one of the disciplines with the smallest gap between China's medical profession and the world's advanced level. Especially with the advancement of imaging, computer, materials, electronics and other related technologies and the improvement of doctors' surgical level. Modern minimally invasive surgical techniques without surgery will replace traditional surgery more, and are undergoing rapid changes. Among them, the application of endoscope technology has more important significance. ^[1]

In the future, the greatest impact on surgery will be the continuous development of microplaning invasive technology. It refers to minimizing the area and size of the operation performed from outside the body. Reduce patient anesthesia. Allow patients to return home immediately on the day of surgery or the day after surgery.

Through the cold light source lens, fiber optic wire, image transmission system, and screen display system, laser illumination is used to convert the image of the part to be inspected into a digital optical fiber signal. The image is transmitted to the display screen of the instrument through the optical fiber, and the disease path Images are stored and reproduced.

What can best reflect the progress of surgical technology is the application of various endoscopes in minimally invasive. It refers to opening small holes of 5-10mm or even a few millimeters in the body surface. By using optical fiber and micro surgical instruments, the electrocoagulation knife or other electric instruments are operated to perform surgical treatment on the lesion. Laparoscopy is now available,

Endoscope technology

In the early 1990's, treatment of diseases such as nasal endoscopic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and nasopharyngeal fibrous hemangiomas has been carried out in China. The previous traumatic surgery that opened the lip and gum was improved to the endoscopic transnasal and sphenoid sinus approaches, which can successfully treat pituitary adenomas at the base of the skull without opening the skull. The minimally invasive surgery performed in the nasal cavity breaks through the traditional surgical exclusion zone. It can treat very complicated lesions without damaging local normal anatomy.

Endoscope technology

Endoscopic visual painless flow technology is currently the most authoritative in the world. A high-resolution miniature camera is also probed into the uterus. Observe the location of the gestational sac directly. The positioning is very precise. The aspirator probe is used to aspirate the embryo, and the entire flow of people is over. It completely avoids incomplete abortion, uterine perforation caused by blind curettage, and gynecological diseases such as aspiration, postoperative infection, secondary infertility, and habitual abortion. As long as 1-2min, you can easily solve the problems of unwanted pregnancy.

Endoscopy technology

During hip replacement. The femoral head must be removed. Chiseled inside. Then insert the shaft of the artificial joint. in practice. The contact area between the bone and the prosthesis is usually less than 50%, and the gap is filled with bone glue. Increase the contact surface between bone and metal. Makes replacement hip joint easy to recover. Hold longer. Performing this operation using an endoscope accurately maintains the optimal contact surface.

Endoscope technology IV. Intracranial

Intracranial surgery requires fine positioning. First, a fixed reference point is provided around the skull. Using endoscope technology can locate any special part of the brain. The skull also provides a stable base for fixing the instrument.

A further technique is to understand the anatomical details of the bone structure by using pictures taken by computer tomography or other imaging systems. Before the operation, the use of a computer-controlled dual-control system can minimize the risk of surgery.

Endoscopy technology

Microinvasive neurosurgical technology uses neuroendoscopy to play a role. So that patients with intracranial lesions do not need to open the skull. Treatment can be achieved only with minimally invasive drilling. At the same time, neuroendoscopy was used to assist conventional micro neurosurgery. Avoid excessive craniotomy. Reduced surgical injuries. Make the surgery finer and more thorough, and the response is light. Short questions during recovery, some patients can be discharged only 3 or 4 days after surgery. Reduced hospital costs.

Neuroendoscopy technology also solves some problems that are difficult to deal with by traditional neurosurgery. Especially with the new understanding of intraventricular diseases, it is often difficult for some tumors to be fully exposed to the microscope field during neurosurgery. The application of neuroendoscopy can more clearly show the lesions.

In the near future, neuroendoscopy will become an indispensable new type of "scalpel" for neurosurgeons.

Endoscopy technology

Celiac disease is inserted using an endoscope through a small hole in the abdominal wall. Insert another specially designed instrument through the other or two holes. This procedure is now widely used for gallbladder removal, appendicitis, kidneys, and even large bowel resections. Cancer repair. Fallopian tube atresia and hysterectomy ^[1]
