What is an Upper GI Endoscopy (Gastroscopy)?

A gastroscopy, also known as an upper GI endoscopy, is a medical procedure that allows a physician to closely inspect the inside of the esophagus (food pipe), stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. This examination is performed using a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope, which has a camera attached to its tip. The endoscope is gently passed through the mouth and carefully guided into the stomach to provide a clear view of these areas. During a gastroscopy, the doctor may take small biopsies (tissue samples) for further analysis. The procedure is typically performed with a throat spray anesthetic or sedation to ensure patient comfort.
