    Endoscopy

    Endoscopy is a versatile diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that allows physicians to directly visualize the interior of the gastrointestinal tract using a flexible tube called an endoscope, which is equipped with a camera and light source. The procedure can be performed on various parts of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, colon, and rectum.
    Endoscopy is commonly used to investigate symptoms such as persistent heartburn, abdominal pain, bleeding, and difficulty swallowing. It is also employed for screening purposes, such as colonoscopy for colorectal cancer. During the procedure, the physician can perform biopsies, remove polyps, control bleeding, and treat strictures or other abnormalities. Endoscopy is minimally invasive, typically conducted under sedation to ensure patient comfort. Its ability to provide real-time images and facilitate immediate interventions makes endoscopy an essential tool in diagnosing and managing a wide range of gastrointestinal conditions, significantly enhancing patient care and outcomes.
