Endoscopy

Endoscopy is a nonsurgical procedure used to examine a person's digestive tract to diagnose, evaluate and treat conditions of the oesophagus, stomach and portion of the intestine. The aim of the endoscopy team is to provide a diagnosis and treatment for people with symptoms of upper and lower gastrointestinal problems.
