Endoscopy

Endoscopy (from ancient Greek ἔνδον - inside and σκοπέω - looking, exploring) is a method of direct examination of the internal cavities and channels of the body using special devices - endoscopes.

Endoscopy allows you to obtain images of internal organs and tissues, collect material for research, and also perform various therapeutic and diagnostic procedures.

Modern endoscopes are flexible or rigid tubes equipped with a lens system and a light source. The image is transferred to the monitor. To examine different organs, endoscopes of various designs and sizes are used - gastroscopes, colonoscopes, bronchoscopes, cystoscopes, etc.

Endoscopic methods are widely used in medical practice for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, and genitourinary system. Properly performed endoscopy is a safe and effective method of examination.

An endoscope is a medical device designed to examine the internal organs and systems of the human body, animals or even plants.

If the result is correctly performed and interpreted, the procedure is completely painless for the patient and does not require additional anesthesia.
