Endoscopy – internal organs examination with an endoscope. During endoscopic examination, the endoscope is inserted into the cavities through the natural orifices, for example, into the stomach – through the mouth and esophagus, into the bronchial tubes and lungs – through the larynx, into the bladder – through the urinary tract. Endoscopes are also used during laparoscopic surgical operations. The most popular endoscopic investigation is gastroscopy and colonoscopy. It helps to define the intestine and stomach state. Clear video-visualization allows determining any pathological formation. This is very important because it will allow starting adequate treatment at time.
