Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Unit
Endoscopy is a nonsurgical procedure used to examine a person’s digestive tract. It helps doctors evaluate and diagnose digestive diseases, take a biopsy (removal of tissue), remove polyps (growth of tissue) and treat some digestive tract problems. Endoscopists use an endoscope, which is a flexible tube with a light and camera, to visually examine your digestive system.
