Endoscopy is a commonly performed, minimally invasive medical procedure that uses a flexible instrument called an endoscope to examine the inside of the patient’s body without requiring major surgery. Using an endoscope, the doctor can inspect, biopsy, and even treat certain conditions in real time.

How Is Endoscopy Performed?
- Preparation:
Depending on the type of endoscopy, patients are advised to fast for as long as 8 hours. Bowel-cleansing medicines are given in cases of colonoscopy.
- Sedation or Anaesthesia:
Light sedation, like local anaesthesia, is used in most cases of endoscopy procedures.
- Insertion of the Endoscope:
The endoscope is gently inserted through a natural body opening such as the mouth, anus, or urethra. Sometimes, a small incision is made to insert the device in a few cases.
- Real-Time Visualization and Diagnosis:
The camera is inserted for better visibility of organs and tissues. In some endoscopy procedures, air is pumped in to expand for better visibility.
- Biopsy or Treatment
In some cases, the surgeon removes polyps, takes tissue samples, or performs procedures such as stent placement.
- Removal and Recovery:
After the procedure, the endoscope is removed, and the recovery area is looked upon until sedation wears off. Most patients go home the same day.
Types of Endoscopy
- Upper GI Endoscopy (EGD / Gastroscopy)
A thin tube is passed through the mouth so the doctor can view the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. This helps diagnose reflux, ulcers, bleeding, and swallowing difficulties.
- Colonoscopy
A colonoscope is inserted through the anus during a colonoscopy to examine the large intestine and rectum. This helps diagnose polyps, cancer, or bowel disease.
- Capsule Endoscopy
A pill-sized camera takes thousands of images of the digestive tract. The size of the capsule camera helps detect bleeding in the small intestine or Crohn’s disease.
- Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)
EUS uses an endoscope and ultrasound to scan previously imaged organs such as the pancreas and lymph nodes. This is a useful tool since it obtains images in a better quality, plus allows for tissue sampling. The most common use is in cancer diagnosis.
Other types of endoscopy include sigmoidoscopy, which checks the rectum and lower colon for bleeding or pain, and laparoscopy, which is used to examine and treat abdominal or pelvic issues such as hernias or endometriosis. Bronchoscopy helps investigate lung problems, while cystoscopy examines the bladder and urethra for infections or stones.
