DIAGNOTIC UPPER GI ENDOSCOPY

Diagnostic upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy, often referred to as an upper endoscopy or esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), is a medical procedure used to visually examine the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract. This includes the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).

Diagnostic upper GI endoscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing a range of gastrointestinal conditions. It helps healthcare providers directly visualize the inside of the upper digestive tract, enabling them to make accurate diagnoses and determine appropriate treatment plans.
