What type of service is Endoscopy?
Endoscopy is a sophisticated medical procedure that allows doctors to examine internal organs and tissues using a slender, flexible tube called an endoscope. This device contains a camera and light source, enabling clinicians to visualize the body’s interior through natural openings like the mouth or anus. Endoscopy is minimally invasive, reducing patient discomfort and the risk of complications associated with traditional surgery. It provides high-definition images of tissues in real-time, aiding in diagnosing and treating various medical conditions with precision and efficiency.
What is endoscopy done for?
Endoscopy is a versatile medical procedure used for both diagnosis and treatment. It helps identify various symptoms like abdominal pain, bleeding, or difficulty swallowing and can detect conditions such as ulcers, polyps, tumors, inflammation, and infections. Additionally, endoscopy enables therapeutic interventions like polyp removal and tumor eradication, making it an essential tool in modern healthcare for precise and effective treatment.
