UGI Endoscopy
Endoscopy of the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract
Upper GI endoscopy tests the mucosa of the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum.
After sedation, an endoscope is inserted into the mouth to assess the mucosal appearance of the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Biopsies may be taken from suspicious locations, and endotherapy for bleeding lesions may be performed.
Endoscopy is a very effective operation that has no side effects. It is normally performed as an outpatient procedure, and the patient may be discharged in as little as 2-3 hours.
