What is Endoscopy?
Endoscopy is a procedure that uses a flexible tube with a camera and light to visualize the inside of the digestive system. It allows for:
- Diagnosis of symptoms such as abdominal pain, bleeding, or swallowing difficulties
- Treatment of certain conditions without the need for open surgery
