    What is the definition of Endoscopy?

    Endoscopy is a way of looking inside the body using a flexible tube that has a small camera and light on the end of it. This instrument is called an endoscope.

    Small instruments can be inserted through an endoscope and used to:

    • Look more closely at an area inside the body
    • Take samples of abnormal tissues (biopsy)
    • Treat certain diseases
    • Remove tumors
    • Stop bleeding
    • Remove foreign bodies (such as food stuck in the esophagus, the tube that connects your throat to your stomach)
