WHAT IS ENDOSCOPY?

Endoscopy is a non-surgical method to examine and diagnose complications developed within internal organs. It helps surgeons in viewing inside the body through a flexible tube having a micro camera. The device used in the endoscopy procedure is known as an endoscope, which is injected directly into the organ to diagnose the root cause of medical complications. The procedure is exercised when doctors feel any possibility of growth of tissues or organs inside the body.

TYPES OF ENDOSCOPY

As per the American Cancer Society, there are some effective categories of endoscopy for different complications. They are:

Arthroscopy – It is applied to examine the complications developed in joints. Here, endoscope is injected through a small incision near the affected bones or joints.

Bronchoscopy – This method is applied to diagnose the complications developed in the lungs. The device is inserted inside through the nose or the mouth.

Colonoscopy – It is aimed at diagnosing colon conditions. The endoscope is pushed inside through the anal.

Cystoscopy – It is applied to examine the bladder with the insertion of endoscope through the urethra.

Hysteroscopy – The method is applied to diagnose the uterus, with the device pulled in through the vagina.

Laparoscopy – Applied to pelvic or belly area, with the endoscope injected through a small cut near the belly that is to be diagnosed.

  • Pain near the area of endoscopy.
  • Fever.
  • Reddish spot and swelling near the incision area.
  • Vomiting.

POST ENDOSCOPY

Many hospitals or medical centers relieve the patients on the same day with little wounds caused by incision during the procedure.
