What is endoscopy?
A minimally invasive way to see the digestive tract clearly
Endoscopy uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera to examine the inside of the digestive tract. It helps doctors detect abnormalities, take biopsies, and perform selected treatments without open surgery.
At Myra City Hospital, high-definition endoscopy systems support accurate diagnosis, improved patient safety, and better planning for digestive symptoms such as acidity, abdominal pain, bleeding, swallowing difficulty, bowel changes, jaundice, and unexplained weight loss.
