Overview
An endoscopy is a safe and minimally invasive procedure to examine the digestive tract. The process involves inserting a flexible tube, called an endoscope, with a camera through the mouth or rectum to check for abnormalities. The endoscope helps your doctor to examine the lining of your digestive tract on a monitor.
