A Gastroscopy is a medical examination, also called Esophagogastroduodenoscopy or Upper GI Endoscopy, which examines the inside of the upper part of the digestive tract, made up of the stomach, oesophagus, and duodenum normally up to the second portion of it.
What is a Gastroscopy used for?
A Gastroscopy is prescribed for various reasons and represents one of the best diagnostic tools available in the medical field today. It can be requested for all the problems associated with the upper part of the digestive tract, as it provides the doctor with a clear and direct visual of the area during the examination, thanks to high definition, colour images.
In general, the problems for which an endoscopy may be requested are the following:
- Heartburn or indigestion;
- reflux;
- stomach pain;
- difficult or painful swallowing;
- bleeding;
- to diagnose ulcers;
- to diagnose tumours;
Traditional or transnasal endoscopies even allow the medical specialist to perform surgical procedures, so called operations. By using tools which are located within the endoscope, it’s possible to remove samples of tissues, in other words biopsies, carry out minor surgery, stop bleeding and finally perform emergency interventions.
