Terminology : vidéo programme

Endoscopists have for some time now been feeling the necessity of defining and uniforming terms and definitions in digestive endoscopy. Some time ago, OMED published a manual by Prof. Maratka, that represents an important reference point to overcome this problem. Our idea to produce on video endoscopic terminology, on the lines of Prof. Maratka's book, arose with the event of electronic endoscopy, which we have been using since May 1985. The electronic instrument certainly offers more didactic possibilities than the traditional fiberscope, consenting enlarged and highly definable pictures. So far, we have produced the first videotape, regarding "Fundamental terms and Definitions". The video terminology programme will be completed within the end of 1992 with 4 more videotapes entitled : esophagus, stomach, pancreas and biliary tract and colon
