More about Upper GI Endoscopy
An Upper GI Endoscopy or simply Upper Endoscopy is a procedure where the upper digestive system is visually examined with a long, flexible tube that has a tiny camera to its tip. An experienced gastroenterologist uses endoscopy to diagnose and sometimes even to treat certain conditions that affect the digestive system. The Upper Endoscopy can examine such internal parts as the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (the early part of the small intestine). The highly advanced endoscopes these days use high-definition video to provide clearer images.
