Upper Digestive Endoscopy
Endoscopy is a procedure that allows the inside of the body to be viewed using a flexible tube and camera. It is used to diagnose and treat digestive problems, such as ulcers and inflammation. The procedure is minimally invasive and helps in making decisions about treatment. Many patients return to their normal activities quickly after endoscopy.

It is essential for detecting colorectal cancer. Preparation involves a specific diet and laxatives to cleanse the colon.
