It is a non-surgical method used to examine the gastrointestinal tract, which enters the gastrointestinal tract through the mouth using a flexible and special tube equipped with a camera and light, which has the ability to see and examine the gastrointestinal tract and even sampling and perform some gastrointestinal treatments. Endoscopy helps the doctor in various therapeutic and diagnostic cases, the most important of which are the following:
- To diagnose the cause of digestive problems such as nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, gastrointestinal bleeding
- Detection of active bleeding from the wound
- Stop the bleeding
- The exit of gallstones from the bile ducts is called ERCP
Method
The patient fasts for about 8 hours before endoscopy. The patient lies on their left side. A sedative is injected into the patient through an embedded angiocatheter. The flexible tube of the endoscope is inserted through the mouth, which when it reaches the patient's throat they sneeze or burp, which is a normal reaction. However, a small protective piece is placed between the patient's teeth so that the teeth are not damaged.
The tube is directed to the esophagus and stomach, and the images are directed to the monitor through the camera, and the doctor has the necessary vision. During endoscopy, a biopsy is possible, which is completely painless.
