A range of endoscopy procedures are used to look at different internal organs and tissues.
Endoscopy is a procedure performed to look at a particular organ inside the body.
The method is used to diagnose various conditions and diseases.
Your doctor will insert an endoscope into your body (mouth, anus, vagina, nose, or urine) or through an incision.
What Is an Endoscope?
Endoscopes were performed through the endoscope.
Endoscopes come in different shapes and lengths, each designed to look at different parts of the body.
Most are thin, hollow, flexible tubes to which light is attached. Some even come with a small video camera that transmits images to a computer.
The latest versions of the endoscope are small enough to swallow and send pictures wirelessly to a computer.
