Department of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery, National University Hospital, Singapore, Singapore.
Objective: The efficacy of the transcanal endoscopic approach in tympanoplasty, cholesteatoma removal, and stapedotomy is detailed. This study reviews evidence on the feasibility of endoscopic ossiculoplasty as a suitable alternative to traditional microscopic ossiculoplasty.
Data Sources: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched from inception to 19 June 2024 for articles comparing endoscopic and microscopic ossicular chain reconstruction.

Gastroenterology , Hospital Álvaro Cunqueiro, España.
Background: The absence of proper ergonomics in digestive endoscopy, combined with an increasing workload, has contributed to a growing incidence of musculoskeletal complaints among endoscopists. This study aims to assess the frequency of musculoskeletal complaints and their impact on clinical practice among Spanish endoscopists.
Methods: An electronic survey was sent to active members of the Spanish Society of Digestive Endoscopy (SEED) in July 2019.
Ergonomic wedge pillow to reduce neck pain after prone ERCP; a randomized, controlled study.
Surg Endosc
January 2025
Excellence Center for GI Endoscopy, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Thai Red Cross Society, Bangkok, Thailand.
Background: Prone positioning during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) can lead to post-procedure neck pain due to increased cervical spine stress and prolonged muscle stretching. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and satisfaction of an ergonomic wedge pillow for patients undergoing prone ERCP.
Methods: Patients indicated for ERCP were randomized 1:1 to a study group (with the pillow) or a control group.
Assessing Postural Stability in Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Procedures with a Belt-like Endoscope Holder Using a MoCap Camera System.

Department of Internal Medicine, Kralovske Vinohrady Universital Hospital, Šrobarova 1150/50, 100 00 Prague, Czech Republic.
As musculoskeletal injuries in gastroenterologists related to the performance of endoscopic procedures are on the rise, solutions and new approaches are needed to prevent these undesired outcomes. In our study, we evaluated an approach to ergonomic challenges in the form of a belt-like endoscope holder designed to redistribute the weight of the endoscope across the whole body of the practitioner. The aim of the study was to determine how the use of this holder affected the body posture of practitioners during endoscopy.

Division of Otolaryngology, Department of Surgery, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT.
Purpose: Flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) is a common component of a comprehensive dysphagia assessment. Endoscopy-related musculoskeletal symptoms resulting from clinician, environment, or equipment factors have been reported among health care professionals. The purpose of this work was to uncover the prevalence and nature of physical discomfort among speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who perform FEES.
