ENDOSCOPY - A TOOL FOR DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
Endoscopy is a medical procedure that uses a flexible, lighted tube (endoscope) to visualize the inside of the body, primarily for diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal (GI) conditions.
It allows doctors to directly examine the lining of the digestive tract, perform biopsies. and even treat certain conditions during the procedure.
Endoscopy for Diagnosis
An endoscopy can be used to investigate unusual symptoms. Diagnose conditions that can cause acidity, bleeding, diarrhea, inflammation, , difficulty in swallowing which can be symptom of some serious diseases.
Endoscopy for Surgery
Endoscopy is performed to help to perform certain types of surgery For example, doctors can stop internal bleeding, seal wounds, open blockages, remove tissue, remove swallowed objects, clip polyps, or widen a narrowed esophagus.
Endoscopy To Remove Small Sample
Endoscopy is done to remove a small sample for further analysis like biopsy.
UPPER GI ENDOSCOPY POPULARLY KNOWN AS GASTROSCOPY
Gastrointestinal endoscopy is done commonly as an out patient procedure with mild sedation without anaesthesia.
Patient can resume with daily routine within an hour.
But should not drive for 2 hours if patient has received sedation.
This procedure allows diagnosis of diseases of upper Gastrointestinal tract, esophagus, stomach and duodenum.
UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT
Acidity is one of the most common symptoms behind Ulcers of Upper Gastrointestinal Tract.
Ulcers are typically investigated using an upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy, often combined with biopsies.
This procedure allows a doctor to directly visualize the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum using a
flexible tube with a camera.

DIAGNOSIS OF DISORDERS
IN ESOPHAGUS
1. Acidity which includes symptoms like burning in stomach, heartburns, excessive burning etc.
2. Reflux where patient has acid rising into throat with or without taste of food particles.
These patients may have persistent dry cough more at night with or without wheezing
and may be considered to have bronchial asthama.
FOR DIAGNOSIS OF
HEARTBURN
Heartburn occurs when stomach acid (hyper acidity)
refluxes into the tube that carries
food from your mouth to your stomach
(esophagus). Heartburn is a burning
sensation that feels like it’s in
your heart, but it's not the case. It’s
in your esophagus. This is aggravated
by chillies, spices and heavy meals. It can also be due to
fungal infection, post radiation treatment, viral infection etc.

FOR DIAGNOSIS OF
CANCEROUS LESION
This can be due to severe acidic ulcerations, narrowing of the food passage due to non cancer or
cancerous lesion or pressure on the food pipe from outside.

FOR ACHALASIA CARDIA
BALLOON DILATATION
Strong contractions of the food pipe is known as dysmotility of esophagus and an unusual condition known
as Achalasia Cardia due to powerful contraction of the valve of the esophagus at its lower end which
can cause difficulty in swallowing.

VOMITING OF BLOOD
Vomiting of blood / coffee coloured fluid is a serious symptom which may be due to ulcers,
cancer of upper GI tract or due to cirrhosis
of liver.
These conditions can be accurately diagnosed
by gastroscopy and majority of these conditions can be treated by endoscopy without need of surgery.

OF CIRRHOSIS OF LIVER
BLEEDING FROM GASTRIC VARICES
A jet like bleeding from gastric varices can be life threatening and is effectively controlled by endoscopic therapy.
Common problems related to stomach are :
1. Burning and pain in abdomen
2. Nausea and vomiting
3. Bloating or gas in abdomen or burping.
4. Poor appetite, fullness after small amount food and vomiting may suggest some serious disease like ulcer or cancer or tumour.
Vomiting of blood due to ulcer, narrowing of duodenum due to ulcer or cancer can be very effectively treated by gastroscopy.
CAUSING ABDOMINAL FULLNESS AND VOMITING
Duodenum is the beginning of the small intestine and most commonly affected by acidity and ulcer.
It also may be involved in certain cancers of upper GI tract.
Bloating, fullness of abdomen, burping, vomiting, pain or burning in upper abdomen mostly on empty stomach after consumption of chillies,
spices or heavy meals occurring at times during sleep are the symptoms related to duodenum.
