This procedure uses a flexible endoscope to visualize the upper GI tract, which includes the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine).
Why is it done?
How is Upper GI Endoscopy performed?
During the procedure, patients lie on their back or side on an examination table. An endoscope is carefully fed down the oesophagus and into the stomach and duodenum. A small camera mounted on the endoscope transmits a video image to a monitor, allowing close examination of the intestinal lining. Air is pumped through the endoscope to inflate the stomach and duodenum, making them easier to see. Special tools that slide through the endoscope allow the doctor to perform biopsies, stop bleeding, and remove abnormal growths.
Apollo Chennai launched advanced integrated comprehensive liver care network.
Imagine swallowing a tiny camera that can take thousands of pictures of your small intestine as it travels through! That's capsule endoscopy for you. This incredible technology helps doctors diagnose and treat diseases that traditional endoscopy might miss.
Sometimes, doctors need to examine deeper parts of the small intestine that are not easily accessible with regular endoscopy. That's where enteroscopy comes in. It's a deeper dive, ensuring that every inch of your intestine is examined for potential issues.
The colon and rectum are crucial parts of our digestive system. A colonoscopy helps doctors examine these areas, ensuring they're healthy and free from issues like polyps or cancer.
The gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas are interconnected and play vital roles in digestion. ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) is a specialized technique used to diagnose diseases in these organs.
Our oesophagus moves food from the mouth to the stomach using coordinated muscle contractions. Manometry helps doctors evaluate how well these muscles are working. It's all about ensuring that every bite you take reaches its destination!
Endoscopic Ultrasonography combines endoscopy and ultrasonography to give doctors a detailed view of the digestive tract and nearby organs.
