Endoscopia del tracto gastrointestinal inferior - Medical Animation
MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: Una endoscopa gastrointestinal inferior, tambin llamada colonoscopa o sigmoidoscopa, permite al mdico ver el revestimiento mucoso del tracto gastrointestinal inferior. El procedimiento se utiliza como prueba de deteccin en personas sin sntomas o para ayudar a diagnosticar un dolor abdominal inexplicable, el sangrado rectal o un cambio en los hbitos intestinales. Es capaz de detectar inflamacin, infecciones, lceras, diverticulosis, estrechamiento intestinal, plipos colorrectales, cncer u otros problemas que pueden estar presentes. Antes del procedimiento tendr que someterse a una preparacin intestinal. Segn el tipo de medicamentos que se le prescriba, deber comenzar entre uno y tres das antes del procedimiento. Deber modificar su dieta y tomar medicamentos, los que ayudarn a limpiar los intestinos y prepararse para el procedimiento. El procedimiento se lleva a cabo utilizando un endoscopio, que es un tubo delgado, flexible y largo con una luz y una pequea cmara de vdeo conectada al extremo. La cmara transmite las imgenes a un monitor. En una sigmoidoscopa, el endoscopio solo alcanza la parte superior del colon descendente. En una colonoscopa, el endoscopio alcanza toda la longitud del colon hasta su conexin con el intestino delgado. La presencia del endoscopio y del aire pueden hacer que usted sienta presin o retortijones, as como la necesidad de eliminar gases. Esto se considera una parte normal del procedimiento. El mdico le puede pedir que cambie ligeramente de posicin para que pueda maniobrar el endoscopio con mayor facilidad a travs de las curvas de su intestino grueso. Si experimenta dolor, avsele al mdico de inmediato. En algunos casos, el mdico puede considerar necesario tomar muestras para realizar una biopsia. Una biopsia ayuda a distinguir entre tejidos benignos y cancerosos, y puede ayudar a determinar la causa del sangrado, la inflamacin o la diarrea. A menudo, las biopsias se realizan incluso si el mdico no tiene sospechas de cncer. Si se descubren uno o ms plipos, generalmente el mdico los extrae mediante un procedimiento llamado polipectoma. Normalmente se utiliza una pinza extractora para extirpar los plipos y luego se cauterizan las bases para controlar el sangrado. Al final del procedimiento, se saca el endoscopio del colon. Una sigmoidoscopa suele tardar unos 20 minutos, mientras que una colonoscopia puede tomar entre 30 minutos y una hora.

What attorneys say about MLA and The Doe Report:
"I have a medical illustration created by Medical Legal Art at the beginning of every case to tell the client's story, usually before I depose the defendant doctor. The work product and cost-efficiency are outstanding. It is a situation where, as a trial lawyer, I don't leave home without it."

Rockne Onstad
Attorney at Law
Austin, TX

"Medical illustrations are essential evidence in personal injury litigation and MLA is simply the best I've found at producing high-quality illustrations. Your illustrators are not only first-class artists, but creative and responsive. Your turn around time is as good as it gets. My clients have won over $60 million in jury verdicts and I can't recall a case which did not include one of your exhibits. On behalf of those clients, thanks and keep up the great work!"

Kenneth J. Allen

"Whether it's demonstrating a rotator cuff tear, neck movement a few milliseconds after rear impact, or a proposed lumbar fusion, the Doe Report represents an instant on-line database of medical illustration for health-care and legal professionals.

Illustrations can be purchased 'as is' or modified within hours and sent either electronically or mounted on posterboard. An illustration is worth a thousand words, as juries perk up and look intently to capture concepts that are otherwise too abstract. Start with good illustrations, a clear and direct voice, a view of the jury as 12 medical students on day one of training, and your expert testimony becomes a pleasure, even on cross examination. An experienced trial lawyer should also emphasize these illustrations at the end of trial, as a means of visually reinforcing key concepts covered.

As a treating physician, I also use these accurate illustrations to educate my own patients about their medical conditions. The Doe Report is an invaluable resource, and its authors at MLA have always been a pleasure to work with."

"I wanted to thank you for the terrific job you did illustrating my client's injuries. The case was settled at the pre-suit mediation, and I believe a good part of the success we had was due to the medical legal art you prepared.

Your work received the ultimate compliment at the conclusion of the mediation. The hospital risk manager took the exhibit with them at the conclusion of mediation, and will be using it to train nurses on how to prevent bed sores..."
