What is Endoscopy and Colonoscopy?

Endoscopy and colonoscopy are minimally invasive procedures that allow our gastroenterologists to examine the lining of the digestive tract using a flexible tube with a camera attached (endoscope). Endoscopy involves examining the upper gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, while colonoscopy involves examining the colon (large intestine) and rectum. These procedures are essential for diagnosing conditions such as gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, polyps, inflammation, and cancer.
