KNOW MORE ABOUT ENDOSCOPY:
| Q: What are the advantages of endoscopy? |
| • No anesthesia required |
| • No cut on body, essentially painless |
| • Minimal preoperative preparation |
| • Safer and cheaper than usual surgery |
| • Helpful for those serious patients who are otherwise unfit for surgery. |
| Q: How is EUS performed? |
| A thin, flexible tube (endoscope) is passed through the mouth and into the stomach and duodenum. The tip of the endoscope contains a built in miniature ultrasound probe which emits sound waves. These sound waves pass through the lining of the stomach and duodenum creating a visual image of the pancreas and surrounding tissue. EUS can be used to obtain a needle biopsy of the pancreas or to sample fluid in a pancreatic cyst. This is done by passing a very thin needle from the endoscope into the pancreas under continuous ultrasound monitoring. This technique is called EUS-fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) and does not hurt. |
