Endoscopy, a modern medical diagnostic procedure, allows doctors to visually examine the interior of the human body using a specialized tool. The device features two tubes that enable observation of internal organs. In medical science, endoscopy is a cutting-edge technique for diagnosing diseases, particularly in the upper gastrointestinal tract, including the throat, esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.
Recently, Dr. Agnibha Dutta, Consultant Gastroenterologist at HP Ghosh Hospital, clarified the concept of "Safe Endoscopy" in an interview with Anandabazar Online.
What is Endoscopy?
"Endoscopy uses a camera to visualize the interior of the stomach. Upper GI Endoscopy examines the upper part of the digestive system, while Colonoscopy or Lower GI Endoscopy focuses on the colon and rectum."
