The conventional wisdom in interventional pulmonology has long been that reusable bronchoscopes perform better than their single-use counterparts, but new research counters that thinking. A recent study, part of a poster presentation at the World Congress for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (WCBIP) 2022 in Marseille, France, found that t…

Dr. Marybeth Spanarkel describes GI endoscopy as a labor of love. You can hear the passion in her voice when she talks about performing a procedure and the gratification that comes from getting an immediate medical answer to the clinical question that’s being asked. Spanarkel, however, suffered a career-ending neck injury after 28 years in private …

Healthcare staff shortages, while not new, have spawned a world today where it can take five hours to get an X-ray for a dislocated elbow and another two to get pain medication for the injury. Ambulances sometimes wait eight hours to drop off a patient, and nurses work 12- to 16-hour shifts, without a break. About 400,000 healthcare workers have le…

Medical device suppliers and group purchasing organizations are teaming to bring new healthcare innovations such as single-use endoscopes to hospitals and health systems. By creating specific single-use endoscope categories for their members, these healthcare improvement companies can help accelerate the transition from reusable devices to disposab…

Transitioning from reusable to single-use endoscopes has obvious infection control benefits and even provides workflow and efficiency advantages — but the financial implications are usually one of the biggest hurdles to implementation. That’s why it’s important to explore all the variables that go into achieving cost savings with single-use devices…

When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration released a letter to healthcare providers in April 2021 announcing its investigation into numerous medical device reports involving reprocessed urological endoscopes, Dr. Seth Bechis and his colleagues set out to learn more about reprocessing and its effectiveness. They focused on flexible ureteroscopes in…

Matthew Katz was at Weill Cornell Medicine when a chance digital encounter ended up steering him into urology. “If you had asked me what a urologist did before medical school I probably wouldn’t have been able to answer the question,” he told me self-deprecatingly when we chatted at the American Urological Association’s annual conference in New Orl…

We can now offer patients procedures which, 20 yrs ago were unthinkable. Procedures which improves health, reduces morbidity and saves lives. But, these procedures are longer and more uncomfortable and therefore patients require deeper sedation than before. Unfortunately, at the same time, patients are older and with more comorbidities. This dual p…

A storm dumped three to five inches of rain in the Detroit metro area one day in June 2021, and a major flood forced a Michigan urology clinic to close. Urologists with Henry Ford Health System were forced to quickly pivot and take all their patients coming in for clinic appointments and procedures and push them to a downtown Detroit campus. Single…

COVID never posed an existential threat but nevertheless had a devastating impact, including on our Endoscopy services. Now we do have an existential threat which Endoscopy is actively driving us towards. Endoscopy is the third greatest hospital contributor to Global Warming !!! You may be tempted to 'cop out', deciding that you can do nothing, but…

A micro-cost analysis published in Urology broke down per-procedural costs for cystoscopy and explored how single-use cystoscopes might provide a cost-effective option for providers. One of the authors of that study, Dr. Yair Lotan, is our guest on the newest episode of Endoscopy Insights and he walks us through his findings. Factors such as capita…

Hospitals that perform bronchoscopies can reduce readmission rates by over half, and potentially lower costs, by adopting single-use flexible bronchoscopes. That’s according to a new abstract that was submitted and presented at the recently completed CHEST 2021 annual meeting. The study examined the health outcomes of more than 14,000 patients who …

Post colonoscopy colorectal cancer is arguable one of the 'hardest' quality measures in colonoscopy. Until now, it has been difficult to identify cases often presenting several years after their colonoscopy and sometimes to a different institution. From September, NHS endoscopy units will have access to a bespoke online resource identifying cases o…

Dr Andreia Albuguerque from Lisbon discusses her paper on the neglected topic of anal cancer recently published in Lancet Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2021;6:327-34. As larger endoscopy units should find 4-5 early anal cancers every year, I have a terrible suspicion that many of these lesions go undetected.…

In this podcast we discuss Serrated Polyps with Professor Neil Shepherd. There is much more to these lesions than Size and Number! Did you know that there may be two distinct syndromes and it's the Site of the lesions which distinguishes the two? That is just the start. It gets weirder! We cover a huge amount of ground and headings include (in chro…

Srisha Hebbar and Peter Siersema challenge my prejudices and suggest that endoscopy can help patients with colonic lipomas and local recurrence after chemo-radiotherapy, two relatively uncommon conditions. They both make convincing arguments! Srisha has also uploaded a video to explain how to safely deal with colonic lipomas. Of course, the video a…

Arguably, the most exciting thing which has happen in ERCP, in the last 50 years, is EUS and the development of easy to place, 'lumen apposing metal stents' (LAMS). It's transforming ERCP for the benefits of patients who no longer need to put up with painful PTC's. Ideally, every region should offer this service but who should be referred for EUS-g…
