~*Endoscopy*~


When i was in Seremban Hospital in my surgical posting most of my frens (including me) would skip the Scope room session. Until our dean who is the also a surgeon took us for classes and had asked us how mnay procedures involving scopes that we hav observed
Our answer was NONE SIR. He became very upset and insisted that we spent more time ther
During my end of posting exams in Seremban he asked me again if i had gone for any observations and i said we did not go

That is how the scope is inserted from above. The purpose is to view the esophagus, stomach and a part of the duodenum for swelling in the wall, ulcers, bleeding walls or vessels, and also interventions and diagnosis

Yesterday..for the first time in our lives we had managed to see how banding of vessels in the esophagus was done.. from zero cases over the 5 years to 2 cases within half an hour. Not onli dat i managed to assist one banding using the scope. , so so happy even though it was just holding the mouth piece and comforting and reassuring the patient




This is how a stomach with a protusion from the wall looks like through the endoscope. fascinating huh?
