Summary
In their fourth episode, the BTK Surgical Endoscopy team delves into the endoscopic management of the dreaded and unexpected. They review how to take care of high-risk surgical complications and introduce the use of a number of endoscopic tools including suturing, stent placement, clips, and the EndoVac. Following a review of a variety of endoscopic techniques, they present case-based scenarios that allow the listeners to understand the application of the endoscopic interventions in everyday practice. Becoming facile with endoscopic interventions may give surgeons the ability to nonoperatively take care of the most complex patients.
