What is Endoscopy?

Endoscopy is a diagnostic procedure performed using an endoscope, a thin flexible tube equipped with a high-definition camera and light source. The procedure allows doctors to examine the digestive tract in real-time and identify abnormalities affecting the esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine.

View internal digestive organs with magnified clarity.
Detect inflammation, ulcers, tumors, and infections.
Perform biopsies and minor treatments during the same session.
