ENDOSCOPY SERVICES

Endoscopy is a means of looking inside the body using a long, flexible tube equipped with a camera for any signs of disease or abnormality. The tube is inserted into the body and the camera transmits images to a monitor for evaluation. The tip of the endoscopy tube can also be outfitted with medical tools to take cells or tissue samples, stop bleeding and perform other medical procedures. An endoscopy can help diagnose a health problem as well as possibly avoid the need for surgery.
