Endoscopy is a medical procedure that allows your doctor to examine the inside of your body without making a large incision. During an endoscopy, your doctor will insert a long, thin tube called an endoscope through a small opening in your body. The endoscope has a light and a camera attached to it, which allows your doctor to see the inside of your body on a monitor.Endoscopies are used to diagnose and treat various conditions to look for problems such as ulcers, tumors, or blockages. Endoscopies can also be used to treat conditions such as bleeding or blockages.
This type of endoscopy examines the upper digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine).
This type of endoscopy examines the upper digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine).
This type of endoscopy examines the lower digestive system, including the large intestine (colon) and rectum.
This type of endoscopy is used to examine the biliary tract (the tubes that carry bile from the liver to the small intestine) and pancreatic duct (the tube that carries pancreatic juice from the pancreas to the small intestine). Doctors use this technology to treat certain conditions, such as removing gallstones or opening up a blocked bile duct.
This type of endoscopy is used to examine the airways (bronchi), the tubes that carry air from the trachea (windpipe) to the lungs, and to treat certain conditions, such as the removal of foreign objects.
This type of endoscopy combines traditional endoscopy with ultrasonography (imaging with sound waves) to get a more detailed view of the digestive tract. Endoscopic ultrasonography is often used to assess tumors or other abnormalities in the GI tract.
Endoscopic mucosal resection removes polyps or, in more advanced cases, cancerous lesions. In some cases, the resection may be performed using laser surgery.
This procedure is called endoscopic retrograde (ER) lavage or gastric lavage. During this endoscopy, a tube is placed through your mouth and throat into the stomach. This tube carries a solution (usually saline) from the stomach back to the esophagus and out of your mouth.
This endoscopy removes the gallbladder through small incisions in the abdomen rather than one large incision. This procedure may also be referred to as laparoscopic cholecystectomy. If you have this procedure, your doctor will also remove gallstones (cholelithiasis).
Endoscopy is used to determine if there are any tumors in the duodenum. With this technique, a surgeon cuts out a portion of the intestine and attaches it so that there is a “Y” or “T” shape at the end of the intestine. In some cases, the gastric emptying time can decrease after this surgery because less food reaches the small intestine for digestion.
If you’re experiencing gastrointestinal issues, your doctor may recommend an endoscopy. This procedure allows your doctor to look closely at the inside of your gastrointestinal tract. While it may be uncomfortable, an endoscopy is generally safe and can help answer what’s causing your symptoms.
