Procedure Sequence

[EGD / Colonoscopy] performed first. (Include brief rationale if order was nonstandard.)

EGD

Indications: [EGD-specific indications; include relevant prior endoscopy findings if driving this exam]

Extent and Visualization

  • Insertion: Scope introduced orally
  • Extent Reached: [REQUIRED: Furthest point examined]
  • GE Junction: [Distance from incisors] (Include only if clinically relevant)
  • Gastric Retroflexion: [Performed / Not performed: [reason]]
  • Visualization Quality: [Adequate / Limited: [reason]]

Findings

(Document normal or describe abnormalities with site, size, morphology, severity grading using standard classifications when applicable, and bleeding stigmata if present.)

  • Esophagus: [Normal / Findings with LA grade for esophagitis, Prague criteria for Barrett if applicable]
  • Stomach – Cardia/Fundus (retroflex view): [Normal / Findings]
  • Stomach – Body: [Normal / Findings]
  • Stomach – Antrum: [Normal / Findings]
  • Duodenum – Bulb: [Normal / Findings]
  • Duodenum – Second Portion: [Normal / Findings]

Photo documentation of key landmarks and abnormalities was obtained.

Biopsies and Interventions

  • [Target site]: [Method]; [Number of specimens if biopsy]; [Immediate outcome]

(Add additional items for each distinct site/intervention. If none, state "No biopsies or interventions performed.")

EGD Status: [Complete / Incomplete: [reason and recommended next step]]

Colonoscopy

Indications: [Colonoscopy-specific indications; for surveillance, include prior findings and date justifying the interval]

Bowel Preparation

  • Quality: [REQUIRED: BBPS Right __ , Transverse __ , Left __ , Total __ /9 OR qualitative description]
  • Adequacy: [Adequate to detect lesions ≥5mm / Inadequate]
  • Cleaning Required: [Minimal / Moderate / Extensive washing and suctioning]

Extent and Quality Metrics

  • Cecum Reached: [REQUIRED: Yes / No – furthest extent: [location], reason: [reason]]
  • Terminal Ileum: [Intubated / Not intubated / Attempted, unsuccessful: [reason]]
  • Cecal Landmarks: [Appendiceal orifice / Ileocecal valve / Both] visualized and photographed
  • Withdrawal Time: [mm:ss] (Required when no therapeutic interventions)
  • Rectal Retroflexion: [Performed / Not performed: [reason]]

Findings

(Document normal or describe abnormalities with segment, distance from anal verge when relevant, lesion type, size in mm, and morphology.)

  • Rectum: [Normal / Findings]
  • Sigmoid Colon: [Normal / Findings]
  • Descending Colon: [Normal / Findings]
  • Transverse Colon: [Normal / Findings]
  • Ascending Colon: [Normal / Findings]
  • Cecum: [Normal / Findings]
  • Terminal Ileum: [Normal / Findings] (Include only if examined)

Photo documentation of key findings was obtained.

Polyp and Lesion Management

(Use table for multiple lesions; omit section if no polyps removed.)

Location Size (mm) Morphology Resection Method En bloc/Piecemeal Retrieved Hemostasis Tattoo Completeness Complications
[Segment] [Size] [Sessile / Pedunculated / Flat] [Cold snare / Hot snare / EMR / Forceps] [En bloc / Piecemeal] [Yes / No: [reason]] [None / Clips / Cautery / Injection] [Yes: [position] / No] [Complete / Residual suspected] [None / Description]

Other Interventions

  • [Biopsies: location and number]
  • [Hemostasis: method and outcome]
  • [Dilation/Decompression: details and outcome]
  • [IBD scoring: extent and severity] (Include for IBD indications)

(Omit section if no other interventions performed.)

Colonoscopy Status: [Complete / Incomplete: [reason]; recommended next step: [repeat with enhanced prep / alternative imaging / other]]

Specimens

(Reconcile all specimens from both procedures. If no specimens collected, replace table with "No specimens collected.")

Container ID Source Anatomic Site Specimen Type Special Handling
[Identifier] [EGD / Colonoscopy] [Site] [Biopsy / Polyp / Brushings] [H. pylori testing / Fresh tissue / Routine]

Pathology pending.

Complications

[No immediate complications. / Complication: [event], [timing], [severity], [action taken], [disposition]]

Impression

[Unified problem-oriented summary of major findings from both procedures, prioritized by clinical importance; note diagnoses pending pathology confirmation]

Recommendations

  1. Pathology follow-up: [Who will notify patient; timeframe]
  2. Medications: [Resume anticoagulants/antiplatelets timing; acid suppression; NSAID avoidance if relevant]
  3. Colonoscopy surveillance: [Interval based on findings, prep quality, and resection confidence; state "pending pathology" with provisional range if applicable]
  4. EGD follow-up: [Ulcer healing check, Barrett surveillance interval, or other as indicated] (Omit if not applicable)
  5. Patient instructions: Return for bleeding, severe abdominal pain, fever, or persistent vomiting
  6. Communication: [Plan for notifying referring clinician]

Signature
