What is Endoscopy?
Endoscopy is a non-invasive medical procedure that empowers healthcare professionals to visualize internal body structures using a specialized instrument called an endoscope. This slender, flexible tube equipped with a high-resolution camera and light source allows for real-time examination of various organs and cavities.
