Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy, Ogd)

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy, Ogd) is an endoscopic examination of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum using a fiber-optic endoscope or video camera.

During this procedure, the doctor inserts a flexible endoscope through the patient's mouth into the esophagus and then into the stomach and the beginning of the small intestine (duodenum). This allows you to examine the mucous membrane of these organs, identify various changes (inflammation, ulcers, tumors, etc.), as well as take a biopsy for histological examination.

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy is often performed to diagnose and evaluate complaints of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and to screen for stomach cancer. This is a safe and quick procedure that provides important diagnostic information about the condition of the upper gastrointestinal tract.



Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGDS) or fibrogastroduodenoscopy is used to examine the esophagus, stomach, duodenum and small intestine. During the procedure, a special device is used - a fiberscope, which is a thin flexible tube.

Endoscopy is a diagnostic method that allows you to identify gastrointestinal diseases in the early stages. Thanks to fiberoscopy, it is possible to detect ulcers, erosions, polyps, cancer and other pathologies. The study also allows you to assess the condition of the mucous membrane and determine the degree of its damage.

Esophagoscopy – allows you to diagnose diseases of the esophagus. During the procedure, the doctor may detect ulcers, polyps and other tumors.
Gastroscopy – allows you to examine the stomach and duodenum. The doctor can identify ulcers, gastritis, tumors and other diseases.
Duodenoscopy - allows you to study the condition of the duodenum. The doctor can detect ulcers, polyps, tumors and other pathologies in this organ.
In some cases, EGD can be performed under anesthesia or sedation. This is necessary to ensure that the patient feels comfortable during the procedure.



Esophagoduodenoscopy, or esophagitis, is an examination by a gastroenterologist and his colleagues of the mucous membrane of the digestive organs using a special instrument - an endoscope. This is a way to obtain detailed information about the condition of the mucous membrane of the walls of the esophagus and gastroduodenal area. Endoscopy allows several diagnostic procedures to be performed in one session: visual examination of the inner lining of the stomach, collection of biopsy material to confirm or exclude malignant tumors, determination of acidity in the stomach.

An esophagotonometer is a device for measuring the level of hydrochloric acid in gastric juice. It is also called histologist or weight indicator. This is a device that shows the pH level of gastric juice and also allows you to know the amount of acid for each meal. An esophatonometer helps treat stomach diseases. A simple weight indicator is available at most local pharmacies and can be



Esophagophenxoudenoscopy - An endoscopic examination that uses a rigid or flexible tube (endoscope) to examine the lining of the esophagus (including the lower end), stomach and duodenum (not always). To do this, a suction solution is supplied into the lumen of the endoscope using an electric pump, creating pressure in the cylindrical part of the tube (endoscope), while the access point is located in the lumen of the gastroesophageal junction (below the junction of the esophagus with the stomach), which ensures inspection of its entire lumen. The cylindrical part of the catheter (the suction part of the gastroscope) is under constant negative (relative to the tissues); as a result, the end of the catheter noticeably expands and fits relatively tightly to the gastric mucosa. Through a microscope (which can be moved along the endoscope channel), the endoscopist examines the mucous membrane of the organ being examined (the basic component of esophageal examination - when
