What is upper endoscopy?
A clear view of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum
Upper GI Endoscopy, also known as EGD or esophagogastroduodenoscopy, is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine the food pipe, stomach, and upper small intestine in real time.
A thin flexible tube with a camera is inserted through the mouth, helping the gastroenterologist diagnose reflux injury, gastritis, ulcers, swallowing problems, bleeding, and suspicious early cancer changes. Selected treatments can also be performed during the same procedure.
