Endoscopy is a non-invasive procedure that allows doctors to see inside the body to find the
cause of unusual symptoms, confirm a diagnosis, and perform minimally invasive surgeries on the
gastrointestinal tract: esophagus, stomach, intestines, bile duct, rectum, and anus.
Endoscopies are performed by a gastroenterologist or general surgeon with a two year fellowship
in digestive endoscopy. During the procedure, the endoscopist passes through the mouth or rectum
a thin-flexible tube with a light and a camera attached that allows seeing images of the
digestive tract. If something is found, the specialist can take a biopsy or treat it at the same
time.

Endoscopic additional procedures information
Gastritis
Gastritis is an irritation or inflammation of the lining of the stomach, usually caused by
alcohol, stress, medication, infections, bile reflux, or helicobacter pylori (bacteria).
Gastritis is diagnosed by an upper endoscopy; where the endoscopist introduces the endoscope
through the mouth to see the stomach lining.
Gastrointestinal disorders
Gastrointestinal disorders are diagnosed by an endoscopist. Part of the screening process can
involve a series of tests and procedures, such as a colonoscopy, upper endoscopy, CT scans, and
X-rays. The most common conditions are GERD, irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease, Crohn's
disease, and colorectal cancer.
Gastrostomy tube – G-Tube
A gastrostomy tube or feeding tube involves introducing the endoscope through the mouth to see
into the stomach, then, a small incision is made on the abdomen to introduce the tube. A G-tube
is recommended for newborns with birth defects of the esophagus or for patients who can’t
swallow or can’t take enough nutrients from food.
