Endoscopic Ultrasonography in a Tertiary Level Hospital: A Single-Centre Experience

Abstract

Introduction : Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is widely used to determine the character of lesions in the hepatobiliary system, pancreas, mediastinum, and rectum, in addition to subepithelial lesions of the upper gastrointestinal tract and for staging in addition to sampling from the lesion.Aim: The aim of this study is to present the endoscopic ultrasonography experience of our clinic over the last year. Material and Methods: EUS indication were performed by two gastroenterologists using a Pentax EPK-i5000 video processor and linear and radial echoendoscopes, under the guidance of an anesthesiologist under sedoanalgesia. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study results were analyzed using SPSS vn. 22.0 software.Results: Evaluation was made of 155 patients who underwent endoscopic ultrasonography, comprising 88 (56.8%) females and 67 (43.2%) males with a mean age of 56.3±14.2 years (range: 19-91 years). The 41 patients who underwent the EUS procedure for pancreatic lesion comprised 24 (59%) males and 17 (41%) females with a mean age of 54.3±17.1 years.EUS was performed in 74 patients due to subepithelial lesions of the upper gastrointestinal tract. These patients comprised 39 (52.7%) females and 35 (47.3%) males with a mean age of 55.2±13.5 years. Discussion The results of this study show that EUS is a reliable and very useful tool in appropriate indications, especially for the evaluation of subepithelial and malignant lesions of the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, and ampulla pathologies. Conclusion and suggestions: Endoscopic ultrasonography; It is an effective and guiding method used in the diagnosis of submucosal lesions of the gastrointestinal tract, staging of malignant lesions, and the diagnosis of cystic and solid lesions of the pancreas.
