Endoscopy
Endoscopy is a procedure where the doctor uses a special instrument called the endoscope to examine the insides of the body. Endoscopy was originally used for hollow organs such as the intestines (including the oesophagus, stomach and colon), urinary system and airways.
As technology advances, special endoscopes have been created that allow doctors to perform endoscopy in other areas like joints (arthroscopy) and abdominal cavity (laparoscopy).
