Gastroduodenoscope

Gastroduodenoscopy is a method of endoscopic examination of the stomach and duodenum, which is performed using a gastroduodenoscope. This device is a long flexible tube with a camera at the end, which is inserted into the esophagus and then passes through the stomach and duodenum.

Gastroduodenoscopy is performed to diagnose various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, such as stomach ulcers, gastritis, stomach cancer and others. Gastroduodenoscopy can also be used to remove polyps and other tumors in the stomach and duodenum.

The gastroduodenoscopy procedure is quite unpleasant, as it requires inserting an endoscope into the esophagus and then through the stomach into the duodenum, which can cause vomiting and other unpleasant sensations. However, thanks to the development of modern technologies, the procedure has become more comfortable for patients.

Currently, gastroduodenoscopes are made from various materials, such as plastic, metal and fiberglass. They can have different sizes and shapes, which allows you to choose the most suitable option for each patient.

In addition, gastroduodenoscopy has become less invasive thanks to the use of new technologies such as ultrasound scanners and laser machines. These devices allow diagnosis without the need to insert an endoscope, which significantly reduces the risk of complications and improves patient comfort.

Thus, gastroduodenoscopy is an important method for diagnosing and treating diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Advances in technology have made the procedure less invasive and more comfortable for the patient, allowing for more accurate diagnosis of diseases and more effective treatment.

A gastroduadenoscope is a special device that is used to diagnose and treat diseases of the stomach and duodenum. It consists of a thin tube that is inserted through the mouth and esophagus into the stomach and duodenum.

Gastroduadenoscopy is performed under local or general anesthesia. The procedure takes from 15 to 30 minutes. During the examination, the doctor may take several photographs of the inner surface of the stomach and intestines.

After gastroduadenoscopy, pain or discomfort in the abdomen may occur, which disappears within a few days. The patient is advised to drink more fluids and follow a gentle diet. During the gastroduadenoscopy process, doctors can make a diagnosis and prescribe the necessary treatment. An x-ray allows you to see even small cancerous formations, thereby helping to avoid surgery. Also, through gastroduodenoscopy, it is possible to take a biopsy and check for diseases of the intestinal tract in patients of any age. Gastroscopy is prescribed based on the results of tests usually performed for gastroenterological and oncological diseases. This procedure is necessary for patients with Crohn's disease, stomach ulcers, gastritis, polyps of the stomach or intestines, diffuse inflammatory processes of the esophagus, nasopharynx, and antrum of the stomach. In addition to these diseases, there are a number of conditions in which gastroduoden diagnosis is necessary: ​​• Dyspepsia; • Assessment of neoplasms of the pharynx, esophagus and stomach; •Evaluation of Barrett's esophagus (degeneration of esophageal epithelial cells into gastric cells); •Diagnostics of bleeding; •Esophagitis, duodenitis;
