What are Endoscopy & Colonoscopy?
Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a flexible camera to examine the upper digestive tract, including the food pipe, stomach, and first part of the small intestine. It can help identify inflammation, ulcers, bleeding, and other gastrointestinal conditions.
Colonoscopy is a procedure used to examine the large intestine and rectum using a flexible camera. It can help detect polyps, inflammation, bleeding, and other abnormalities of the colon.

How are Endoscopy & Colonoscopy Performed?
Upper GI Endoscopy
A thin, flexible camera is gently passed through the mouth to examine the upper digestive tract. The procedure allows the specialist to identify abnormalities and, when required, take a small tissue sample for further examination.
Colonoscopy
After appropriate bowel preparation, a flexible camera is carefully passed through the rectum to examine the colon. Polyps or abnormal tissue may be removed or sampled during the procedure when clinically appropriate.
Preparation & Monitoring
Patients receive instructions regarding fasting, bowel preparation, medications, and other necessary precautions before the procedure. Appropriate monitoring is provided during and after the examination.
