Gastroduodenofibroscope

Gastroduodenofibroscope: what it is and how the procedure is performed

Gastroduodenofibroscopy is a research method that uses a gastro- and duodenofibroscope - thin flexible tubes with optical fibers that allow one to examine the mucous membrane of the stomach and duodenum. The name of the procedure comes from the Greek "gastro-" (relating to the stomach), "duodenum" (duodenum), Latin "fibra" (fiber) and Greek "skopeo" (to consider).

Gastroduodenofibroscopy is performed to diagnose diseases of the stomach and duodenum, such as ulcers, gastritis, cancer, polyps and other pathologies. The procedure can also be used to take a biopsy, a tissue sample for laboratory analysis.

Before gastroduodenofibroscopy, the patient is given mild anesthesia and a sedative to reduce discomfort during the procedure. Then the gastro- or duodenofibroscope is inserted through the mouth and carefully pushed to the stomach and duodenum. During the procedure, the doctor examines the mucous membrane and, if necessary, takes tissue samples for further analysis.

Gastroduodenofibroscopy is a safe procedure, however, like any medical method, it can have risks and complications such as bleeding, infection or organ damage. Therefore, it is important to carry out the procedure only under the supervision of qualified medical personnel.

In general, gastroduodenofibroscopy is an effective method for diagnosing diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, allowing early detection and treatment of pathologies. If you have symptoms related to the stomach or intestines, consult your doctor, who may recommend a gastroduodenofibroscopy to obtain an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.



Gastroduodenoflebroscopy or gastroduodeno-fibroendoscopy is a minimally invasive method for diagnosing and treating various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. This device allows diagnosis and treatment at the earliest stages of the development of the pathological process, which reduces the risk of complications and increases the effectiveness of treatment.

Gastroduodenoscopy is performed using a special optical device - a gastroduo-phleboscope. This device is a flexible endoscope that is inserted into the patient’s esophagus, then into the stomach and then into the intestines (most often into the duodenum). This makes it possible to identify any changes in the mucous membranes of organs - their
