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.

Types of Video Endoscopy:

  • Gastrointestinal Endoscopy: This includes procedures like upper endoscopy and colonoscopy. These are used to visualize the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and colon.
  • Bronchoscopy: Used to examine the airways and lungs.
  • Cystoscopy: Used to view the inside of the bladder and urethra.
  • Hysteroscopy: Used to examine the uterus and cervix.
  • Arthroscopy: Used to visualize joints, often for orthopedic procedures.

Applications:

  • Diagnosis of gastrointestinal disorders like ulcers, polyps, and tumors.
  • Detection of lung conditions such as infections, tumors, or obstructions.
  • Evaluation of urological problems like bladder or kidney stones, tumors, and urinary tract infections.
  • Diagnosis and treatment of gynecological conditions like fibroids, polyps, and abnormal bleeding.
  • Exploration of joints for diagnosing and treating orthopedic conditions.

Advantages:

  • Minimally invasive: Reduces the need for open surgery.
  • Real-time visualization: Allows immediate assessment and potential intervention.
  • Reduced recovery time: Patients typically experience shorter recovery periods compared to traditional surgical procedures.
