What is Endoscopy?

 

Endoscopy is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure in which a thin, flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) is gently passed through the mouth to examine the upper digestive tract. It allows direct visualisation of the internal lining and helps in early detection of abnormalities.

If required, procedures such as biopsy, bleeding control, or removal of foreign bodies can be done during endoscopy.
