Esophagogastroduodenofibroscope

An esophagogastroduodenofibroscope is a special medical device that is used to examine the internal organs of a person. It consists of a thin flexible tube, at the end of which there is a camera and lighting, as well as instruments for performing various procedures.

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGDS) is a method of examining the esophagus, stomach and duodenum using a special device - an esophagogastroduodenoscope. This endoscopic examination allows us to identify many diseases of these organs, as well as assess their condition and functionality.

Endoscopy is performed under local anesthesia, so the patient does not experience pain or discomfort during the procedure. However, before the study, the patient must prepare: refrain from eating 12 hours before the procedure, do not drink alcohol or smoke.

After conducting the examination, the doctor can detect various diseases, such as ulcers, gastritis, polyps and others. Depending on the results of the study, the doctor may prescribe treatment or additional tests.

In addition, endoscopy can detect and remove polyps that can lead to cancer. This is very important because polyps are a precancerous condition. Therefore, if you suspect the presence of polyps, be sure to undergo an endoscopy.

In general, esophagogastroduodenoscopy can be called one of the most effective methods for diagnosing diseases of the esophagus and stomach. It allows not only to identify diseases in the early stages, but also to carry out treatment and prevent the development of complications.
