Endoscopic mucosal resection ( EMR ) has also been evaluated as a management technique.

Endoscopic sympathetic block ( a form of endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy ) for patients with anxiety disorder is sometimes considered to be a psychiatric treatment, despite it not being surgery of the brain.

Endoscopic techniques or endoscopic carpal tunnel release involve one or two smaller incisions ( less than half inch each ) through which instrumentation is introduced including a synovial elevator, probes, knives, and an endoscope used to visualize the underside of the transverse carpal ligament.

Endoscopic submucosal dissection ( ESD ) is a similar technique pioneered in Japan, used to resect a large area of mucosa in one piece.

Endoscopic ultrasound is often used to visually guide the needle biopsy procedure.

Endoscopic treatment is an initial possibility, where cautery or argon plasma coagulation ( APC ) laser treatment is applied through the endoscope.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography ( ERCP ) is a technique that combines the use of endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat certain problems of the biliary or pancreatic ductal systems.

Endoscopic band ligation ( EBL ) is also effective at improving outcomes.

Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy ( ETS ) is a controversial surgical procedure where certain portions of the sympathetic nerve trunk are destroyed.

Endoscopic drainage is a popular and effective method of treating pseudocysts.

Endoscopic ultrasound is generally used as a secondary test to further evaluate the cysts found in other tests, and is used when determining if a cyst is a pseudocyst or not.

Endoscopic drainage is becoming the preferred method of draining pseudocysts because it is less invasive, does not require external drain, and has a large long-term success rate.

Endoscopic ultrasound is the most commonly used test to gather the needed information about the pseudocyst for this method.

Endoscopic studies of patients receiving Celebrex 50 – 400 mg twice daily for 12 – 24 weeks found rates of upper gastrointestinal complications similar to placebo and significantly lower than naproxen 500 mg twice daily and ibuprofen 800 mg three times daily, but not statistically significantly different from patients receiving diclofenac 75 mg twice daily. 11 The analysis found that Vioxx provided significant gastrointestinal benefits in patients both at high risk and at low risk of developing gastrointestinal problems ; patients at low risk still had 88 % fewer gastrointestinal problems with Vioxx.

In addition, in patients without workers compensation issues, the single-incision endoscopic carpal tunnel release led to less palmar tenderness and a quicker return to work compared to the two-incision endoscopic carpal tunnel release ( Palmer DH, Paulson JC, Lane-Larsen CL, Peulen VK, Olson JD: Endoscopic carpal tunnel release: a comparison of two techniques with open release.

Advances in options have produced effective alternatives to traditional discectomy procedures ( i. e. Microdiscectomy, Endoscopic Discectomy, and Laser Discectomy ).

Treatment options for high-grade dysplasia include surgical removal of the esophagus ( esophagectomy ) or endoscopic treatments such as endoscopic mucosal resection or ablation ( destruction ).

Treatable by endoscopic mucosal resection when found very early ( in routine screenings ); otherwise by gastrectomy and lymphadenectomy without need for chemotherapy or radiation.
