Endoscopy - Painless Surgery
Endoscopy is a relatively safe, minimally invasive procedure used to evaluate the interior surfaces of an organ through natural orifices of the body. Through the flexible scope, the physicians are able to see lesions, take small biopsies and retrieve some foreign objects if necessary.If your physician feel you may have an intestinal problem your physician may recommend a procedure called endoscopy. During this procedure the patient is placed under brief short anaesthesia and a small fiberoptic flexible tube with camera on its tip is passed down the esophagus, into the stomach and into a portion of intestine. Your physician may opt to introduce endoscope through anus. If the physician feels that you are showing symptoms of a problem in the large intestine, they may recommend colonoscopy.
