Endoscopy

A modern, minimally invasive diagnostic procedure to examine internal organs without surgical incisions — for accurate diagnosis and early treatment planning.

What is Endoscopy?

Endoscopy is a modern diagnostic procedure that allows doctors to examine internal organs without making a surgical incision. It helps in clearly viewing areas that cannot be fully assessed through X-rays or ultrasound.

During the procedure, a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope is passed through a natural body opening. The endoscope has a light and camera attached to it, which helps the doctor view the internal organs on a monitor.
