Interventional endoscopy.

Current opinion in gastroenterology

Wassef W.
PMID: 17033346
Curr Opin Gastroenterol. 2002 Nov;18(6):669-77. doi: 10.1097/00001574-200211000-00006.

Technologic milestones have been achieved in the field of interventional endoscopy. These have resulted in improved hemostasis, more accurate cancer staging, safer and less invasive methods of removing gastric neoplasms, and endoscopic palliation of malignant gastric outlet obstruction via...

Intraoperative PTH Assay during Minimally Invasive Parathyroidectomy May Be Helpful in the Detection of Double Adenomas and May Minimise the Risk of Recurrent Surgery.

International journal of endocrinology

Ypsilantis E, Charfare H, Wassif WS.
PMID: 21197437
Int J Endocrinol. 2010;2010:178671. doi: 10.1155/2010/178671. Epub 2010 Dec 15.

Background. Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) is increasingly replacing the traditional bilateral neck exploration in the treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP). Intraoperative PTH (IOPTH) measurement has recently been introduced as a useful adjunct in confirming successful excision of abnormal parathyroid...
