Endoscopy Overview

Endoscopy involves inserting a long, thin tube into the body to examine an internal organ, such as the gastrointestinal tract, in detail. It can also assist in imaging, surgery, and other medical procedures. Endoscopies are minimally invasive, typically using natural openings (mouth or anus). Endoscopy is highly valuable due to its low risk, detailed imaging, and quick execution. Annually, approximately 75 million endoscopies are performed in the United States.

Types of Endoscopies

Endoscopies are used to investigate various body systems:

Gastrointestinal tract: Esophagus, stomach, duodenum (esophagogastroduodenoscopy), small intestine (enteroscopy), colon (colonoscopy), rectum (rectoscopy), and anus (anoscopy).

Preparing for an Endoscopy

Most endoscopies are outpatient procedures that typically last about 1 hour. Preparation includes fasting for approximately 12 hours and, for gastrointestinal procedures, taking laxatives the night before. Be sure to disclose all the medications that you are currently using as well as all past medical procedures with your doctor.

Endoscopy Procedure

Endoscopies serve three main purposes:

Investigation: To diagnose causes of symptoms like vomiting, abdominal pain, or bleeding.
Diagnosis: To confirm conditions like cancer via biopsy.
Treatment: To perform procedures such as removing polyps or cauterizing blood vessels. Modern endoscopes may use narrow-band imaging to detect precancerous changes.
