Endoscopy is especially useful for problems where the damage is largely internal.

SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE, December 21, 2013 /EINPresswire.com/ -- State-of-the-Art Emergency Department and Endoscopy Unit Opens in Australia


Endoscopes save lives and make surgery easier.

It's always good news when a new emergency department opens, and recently the QEII Jubilee Hospital saw a new $33 million facility dedicated to emergency and endoscopy open. It's one of the most advanced emergency departments in the world. And the choices made in building this advanced unit might surprise some until they understand the reasoning behind it.

Endoscopy Is Growing Rapidly

Part of that expansion is an $11 million endoscopy department that substantially increases patient volume. While before the hospital could hardly be called unimpressive, handling 1,200 patients per year, the expansion and new equipment more than quadruple the department's capability. And it's expected that the hospital will need those beds. But why invest so much in endoscopy?


Endoscopes ensure surgery is safer and faster.

Why Endoscopy?

The short answer is that endoscopy is becoming more and more central to modern medicine. And, if you're looking to improve patient care and give staff more information about problems and conditions, endoscopy is increasingly popular as a way to go.

Traditionally, the way doctors determined what a problem might be was by using exploratory surgery. But doctors, for obvious reasons, prefer to limit the number of operations a patient is subjected to; it's better for the patient to not operate until the staff know what they're looking for.

But that puts surgeons and medical staff in a quandary; they're not sure what they're going to be dealing with until the patient is on the table. It doesn't please legal departments or doctors in private practice, either; putting a patient can be a financial risk and drive up malpractice costs, even if the surgeon does everything medically possible.

It's true that other procedures, such as the MRI, have helped reduce the number of exploratory surgeries necessary, but many external imaging procedures have drawbacks; they're essentially photographs of the problem, and not necessarily precise and clear ones. Ask any doctor; reading an X-ray can be a difficult chore, and many imaging techniques can be costly and wasteful as well.

Endoscopy solves a surprising number of these problems. Modern cameras are small enough, and have a high enough resolution, that threading them into the body is a much easier and simpler procedure. If an operation must be done, the incision can be much smaller and simpler to treat, protecting the patient and reducing recovery times. The cameras bring back large, high-quality images of what's going on in the body, and doctors can better interpret problems using visual cues.

Endoscopy is especially useful for problems where the damage is largely internal. Especially with internal injury, opening the patient increases risk of infection and makes recovery a longer process than necessary.

Endoscopy And Medicine

In the long run, endoscopy is only going to become more popular. Especially as hospitals see more aging patients coming in for more procedures, limiting the invasiveness of each procedure will become more and more important.

That's why the QEII Jubilee Hospital spent so much money on building the right endoscopy facility for their needs; it's a remarkably far-seeing view of where medicine will be heading in the future.
