Gastroscopy, also known as Upper GI Endoscopy, is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine the oesophagus, stomach, and upper part of the small intestine. It helps diagnose and evaluate various digestive conditions quickly and accurately.
Gastroscopy is usually performed as a day-care procedure. A thin flexible tube with a camera is gently passed through the mouth to examine the upper digestive tract. The procedure is generally completed within a short time and most patients can return home the same day.
