How Endoscopy Work

Endoscopy is a technique that helps doctors to learn more about the digestive tract. The procedure involves the use of a thin, flexible tube equipped with a light and camera, known as an endoscope. Further, based on the surgical site, endoscopy is classified into

  • Upper Endoscopy: Also known as Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, the endoscopy examines the upper GIT part, including the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine.
  • Lower Endoscopy: Also known as Colonoscopy or Sigmoidoscopy, here surgeons evaluate your colon and rectum. It is much more essential to detect the early signs of inflammation, even the early signs of colorectal cancer.

At Sabir Bariatrics, all procedures are performed under expert guidance to ensure patient comfort and safety. 

Who is Eligible for Endoscopy

Endoscopy is not just a surgery but a diagnostic treatment that helps the doctor identify any damage or disruption in the digestive tract. The endoscopy procedure may be recommended for individuals experiencing:

  • Unexplained abdominal pain
  • Persistent nausea or vomiting
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Rectal bleeding
  • Chronic changes in bowel habits
  • Family history of gastrointestinal disorders or colorectal cancer

Well, that totally depends on your symptoms and medical history, whether you need an endoscopy procedure or not. Dr. Sabir and his expert team will go through it to help you determine if upper or lower endoscopy is suitable for you.

Endoscopy can help detect ulcers, inflammation, polyps, tumors, acid reflux, and gastrointestinal bleeding, as well as allow biopsies for further testing.
Preparation usually includes fasting before the procedure, and for lower endoscopy, a bowel cleansing process to ensure clear visibility of the colon.
