endoUZI opportunities: MCSC expert's master class in Nalchik
NewsOn July 30-31, the interdisciplinary scientific and practical conference "Clinical Trajectories in interventional gastroenterology: from diagnosis to treatment" was held at the State Clinical Hospital No. 2 (Nalchik). One of the key speakers of the event was the head of the Diagnostic Endoscopy Department of the MCSC named after A.S. Loginov, MD Elena Vladimirovna Parfenchikova. During a master class with a live broadcast from the operating room, she presented a clinical case and demonstrated the possibilities of endoscopic ultrasound.
According to the results of ultrasound and MRI, a malignant formation of the pancreas was suspected in the patient. To clarify the diagnosis, an endoUZI with a fine-needle puncture was performed. The results of the study made it possible to establish an accurate diagnosis: the revealed changes turned out to be a cystic formation formed against the background of long-term pancreatitis.
- Accurate diagnosis made it possible to determine the nature of education and choose the right further tactics of patient management.
The conference brought together specialists in the field of endoscopy, surgery, oncology, gastroenterology, pathomorphology and radiation diagnostics from St. Petersburg, Moscow and the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic. For two days, the participants discussed complex clinical cases, listened to expert lectures and watched the work of colleagues during live broadcasts from the operating room.
Such professional meetings allow specialists of different fields to exchange experience and jointly improve approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
