Gastroduodenoscopy

Gastroduodenoscopy is a method of examining the cavity of the stomach and duodenum using an endoscope.

During gastroduodenoscopy, the doctor inserts a special device - a gastroscope - through the esophagus and stomach into the duodenum. A gastroscope is a flexible tube with illumination and optics that allows you to view the mucous membrane of the stomach and duodenum.

Using gastroduodenoscopy, you can detect various diseases of the stomach and duodenum - ulcers, polyps, tumors. It is also possible to take a biopsy for histological examination during the procedure. In addition, some operations, such as stopping bleeding or removing foreign bodies, can be performed directly during gastroduodenoscopy.

Thus, gastroduodenoscopy is an important method for diagnosing and treating diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract.

Gastroduodenoscopy is also called duodenoscopy or gastroscopy with duodenoscope. This is a method of examining the stomach and duodenum (duodenum) using a special instrument called an endoscope, which is inserted through the mouth.

Gastroduodenoscopy allows you to examine the mucous membrane of the stomach, duodenum, and also identify various diseases of the stomach and intestines.

A duodenoscope is a flexible tube that is inserted into the stomach through the mouth and reaches its bottom, where the duodenum is located. At the end of the endoscope is a small light source and camera that allows the doctor to see the inside walls of the stomach and duodenum.

During a gastroduodenoscopy, the doctor may take a biopsy from suspicious areas of the lining of the stomach or duodenum to determine the presence of cancer or other diseases.

The gastroduodenoscopy procedure usually takes about 30 minutes, but can be performed under local or general anesthesia. In some cases, gastroduodenoscopy can cause discomfort or even pain, so the doctor may prescribe painkillers before the procedure.

After a gastroduodenoscopy, no special preparation is usually required, but your doctor may recommend avoiding food or liquids for several hours before the procedure.

In general, gastroduodenoscopy is an important method for diagnosing and treating diseases of the stomach and duodenum and can help in identifying stomach cancer in the early stages. However, like any medical procedure, gastroduodenoscopy has its own risks and side effects, so it should only be performed as prescribed by a doctor.

An article about gastroduodenoscopy, or GASTROENTEROSCOPY, as it is more often called in modern medicine.

*A short article about gastroduodenoscopy: what it is, what it is used for, types of endoscopes, preparing the patient for the procedure.* Gastroduodenoscopy Gastroduodenitis →Gastro—from Greek. "stomach" and lat. - duodenum - “duodenum”; Greek λευκος - “white”. Gastro (gastroduodenal tube) – a set of components for intubation. Gastroduadaenoe from Οστρακογράφος → Ostrascos ("stomach worm") - the first letter ὀς stands for "o", the initial element of the diastema. Two or more arches in a domed core and usually sharp edges. There are two types of gastroduodenal tubes: for the rectum and for the nose. Usually the probe is inserted inside through the mouth (hypopharyngostoma), or intrapharynx (pharyngofibroscope and laryngoscope). It is necessary to wash it and the probe channels in the kit every six hours and do not store it for more than a day. The gastroscope includes gastrostomy drainages, gastric and thoracic, cardiac probes. During gastroscopy of the stomach, the mucous membrane is examined, the physiological state is assessed and various diseases are identified. Gastroenterological examinations are carried out during endoscopic surgical operations or for diagnostic purposes (for example, in case of cardia insufficiency). There are five types of gastroscopy: gastroscopy with biopsy, gastroscopy without biopsy, chromocapsule gastroscopy, chromoduodenography, fluoroscopic examination (general appearance and localization of pathological changes). A gastroduodenoscope is used to perform endoscopy of the initial parts of the digestive tract (esophagus, stomach, terminal part of the duodenum
