The advanced endoscopic procedures

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). A high-quality picture obtained from the endoscope is then shown on the monitor that provides a clear, detailed view of the organs. It helps the doctor to look inside different organs throughout the body. Unlike other medical imaging practices, endoscopes can be directly inserted into the organ for the complete examination. Doctors can use different kinds of endoscopes to examine different parts of the body. During the process of endoscopy, the patient may be fully conscious or anesthetized. 

A procedure, which starts as a diagnostic endoscopy, may become a therapeutic endoscopy depending on the condition visualized during the procedure. To exemplify finding and removal of polyps during a colonoscopy or treating a peptic ulcer that is bleeding. A therapeutic endoscopic procedure provides treatment carried out via the endoscope.
