Abstract:
Bright endoscopic light sources improve the visibility of the intestinal mucosa. A newly launched endoscopic system developed by Olympus Corporation (Tokyo, Japan) in 2020 required modification to prevent heat‐induced tissue damage, which reportedly occurs during magnifying chromoendoscopy. We investigated the mechanism of this phenomenon by evaluating the rise in temperature of stained and unstained porcine mucosa using the new and previous endoscopic systems. Methods Surface temperatures of stained (India ink, 0.05% crystal violet, 0.5% methylene blue, or 0.2% indigo carmine) and unstained porcine mucosa were evaluated using infrared imaging after contact with the new endoscopic system before it was modified (system‐EVIS X1; scope‐GIF‐EZ1500) and compared with a previous endoscopic system (system‐EVIS EXERAIII; scope‐GIF‐H190). We performed histological analysis of the porcine mucosa stained with 0.05% crystal violet after contact with the new endoscope to evaluate the degree of tissue damage. Results Surface temperatures remained 〈 40°C when the new endoscope was in contact with the unstained mucosa. However, the maximum surface temperature rose to 〉 70°C when the new endoscope was in contact with the stained mucosa (stained other than indigo carmine). Histological analysis revealed cavity formation in porcine epithelium stained with crystal violet where the endoscope made contact for
. Using the previous endoscope, the maximum surface temperature of stained mucosa remained below approximately 60°C, and the surface temperature of the unstained mucosa remained below 30°C. Conclusions Heat transfer by light absorption could cause heat‐induced tissue damage during magnifying chromoendoscopy using the new endoscope.
