Endoscopy
Upper gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach, duodenum) is visualized via a thin, flexible camera.
Endoscopy is an imaging method used to evaluate pathologies such as reflux, gastritis, ulcer, tumor and gastric bleeding in the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum for diagnosis and treatment.
The procedure is usually performed under mild sedation and takes 10-15 minutes. If necessary, a biopsy can be taken or a polyp removed.
