What is "gastroscopy"?
Gastroscopy is a medical procedure where the inside of the stomach is examined using a thin, flexible tube with a camera, called an endoscope. This tube is passed through the mouth and down the throat into the stomach. Gastroscopy is used to diagnose and treat conditions such as ulcers, inflammation, tumors, and bleeding in the upper digestive system. The procedure allows doctors to see the lining of the throat, stomach, and the beginning of the small intestine.
