The advanced endoscopic procedures

Image
Endoscopy is a procedure used by endoscopists to look inside and diagnose body conditions. The physician or the endoscopist uses a thin, flexible tube-like structure (endoscope) with a small camera and light attached to it for examining the interior of a hollow organ or cavity of the body. Then this endoscope is moved through the body passageway (such as the gastrointestinal tract or respiratory tract) or opening (such as a surgical opening).

During the process of endoscopy, the patient may be fully conscious or anesthetized.  A procedure, which starts as a diagnostic endoscopy...
