Gastroscopy

Alt Names: Upper G I Endoscopy

Gastroscopy is a procedure performed by a doctor, a well-trained subspecialist
who uses the endoscope to diagnose and, in some cases, treat problems of the
upper digestive system.

The endoscope is a long, thin, flexible tube with a tiny video camera and light
on the end. By adjusting the various controls on the endoscope, the doctor can
safely guide the instrument to carefully examine the inside lining of the upper
digestive system.
