Photo- and video-documentation of gastrointestinal endoscopy in under- resourced settings
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: SUMMARY: S uch major costs highlight the major hurdle to routine photo or video documentation in under-resourced settings. We describe the development in the Groote Schuur Hospital Gastrointestinal Unit of a simple, low-cost method of stillimage and video capture that can be set up on current endoscopy equipment to provide routine still-image and video capture. This system makes use of inexpensive hardware and open access software. It has been implemented and is in routine use for oesophagogastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy, and advanced interventional endoscopy.
