Endoscopy in Functional Bowel Disorders (DGBI): When to Scope, When Not To | MEA Webinar Ep.1  This episode of the Muscat Endoscopy Academy webinar explores the role of endoscopy in functional bowel disorders and disorders of gut–brain interaction (DGBI). We discuss when to scope, when not to, and what to do instead to reduce low-yield referrals.

In this episode of Muscat Endoscopy Academy Webinar Series, I speak with Dr. Morteza Shafazand, Senior Consultant in Gastroenterology at the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden. He shares how we can deliver endoscopy that is not only high-quality but also comfortable for patients.  We discuss practical techniques to reduce pain, the role of sedation and insufflation, and how lessons from advanced procedures can improve everyday practice.

In this episode of the Muscat Endoscopy Academy Webinar Series, I sit down with Bassel Duwaji, Application Specialist, to walk through what a normal esophageal manometry study should look like. Before we can recognize motility disorders, we need to master the baseline: patient preparation, a clean swallow protocol, normal UES/LES relaxation, coordinated peristalsis, acceptable normal variants, and how to report a normal study so clinicians can act with confidence.

In this Muscat Endoscopy Academy Webinar, Bassel Duwaji, Application Specialist, explains the practical aspects of esophageal manometry — from equipment setup and patient positioning to performing the study and interpreting key metrics such as Distal Contractile Integral, Integrated Relaxation Pressure, and Distal Latency.

In this Muscat Endoscopy Academy Webinar, Dr. Thomas Archer shares insights on completing a structured 2-year therapeutic endoscopy fellowship — from choosing the right program and mentor to developing skills, managing complications, maintaining balance, and applying new expertise after training.

In this episode, Dr Nuru Noor, Consultant Gastroenterologist at Cambridge University Hospitals, discusses how to recognise Crohn’s disease early, avoid diagnostic pitfalls, and apply effective, evidence-based treatment strategies. We explore the window of opportunity for early therapy, lessons from the PROFILE trial, and practical ways to implement a treat-to-target approach in daily practice.
