Description

The inside anatomy of the body is examined with an endoscope, a flexible, illuminated device. Typically, a natural entrance in the body, like the mouth or anus, is used to introduce an endoscope. The most frequent endoscopic procedures assess the esophagus, stomach, and some parts of the intestine, while endoscopy can also involve the evaluation of other organs. There are numerous varieties of endoscopy. The names of some of them and how they appear are as follows: Joint arthroscopy Lungs: bronchoscopy Large intestine sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy Urinary system: a cystoscopy and ureteroscopy Laparoscopy: pelvis or abdomen Esophagus and stomach examined during an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy
