Endoscopy
Overview
Endoscopy is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to examine the interior of the body. It involves the use of a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope, equipped with a camera and light at its tip. This allows doctors to visually inspect organs, tissues, and cavities to diagnose and treat various conditions. Endoscopy is commonly used for gastrointestinal (GI) evaluations, respiratory assessments, and other diagnostic purposes.
