Endoscopy

An endoscopy is a procedure used to look inside the body. The endoscopy procedure uses an endoscope to examine the interior of a hollow organ or cavity of the body. An endoscopy procedure involves inserting a long, flexible tube called endoscope down the throat and into the esophagus. A tiny camera on the end of the endoscope lets the doctor examine the esophagus, stomach and the beginning of the small intestine.
