Description

Endosonography

It is the process of examining the esophagus, stomach,
duodenum and accessible large intestines and the organs of their close
neighbors on the screen with the help of the ultrasound probe placed at the end
of the endoscopy device.

With the help of endoscopy, the inner mucosa of the tubular
structure of the digestive system can be seen easily. However, these
instruments, which provide clear information about external compression,
bulging in the lumen or posterior part of the tumoral structures, its extent,
and which layer it originates from, and, if necessary, to perform cellular
examination from these patient tissues with the help of FNA, are helpful tools
to show the fundamental basis of the iceberg.

There are 3 different types of endosonography instruments
called radial, linear or mini probes depending on the viewing angles and
working techniques. The procedure is performed on an empty stomach for 6
hours in the upper digestive system, and the intestines are cleaned with an
enema for the lower digestive system. The use of sedation and narcotic
painkillers in the procedure prevents the patient from feeling discomfort from
the procedure.

External compression in the upper digestive system, tumor
invasion degrees, definition and cellular determination of sub-mucosal masses,
biopsy from pancreatic tumors, Abs and cyst discharges, biopsies from lymph
nodes can be easily performed. Procedure-related complications are the
same as for standard endoscopic methods.

It may be necessary to pay attention only to infection due to
FNA process. During the procedure, it can be easily diagnosed by
vascularization using US dopes. Doctors can be assisted in limiting or
preventing surgical procedures. Direct drug therapy for organ lesions
Implantation of radioactive material can be easily applied.
