Endoscopy is a medical procedure that allows a doctor to examine the inside of the body using a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope. Address: 6A Napier Rd #03-370 Gleaneagles Hospital Annexe Block Singapore 258500; Phone: 65 6355 5773 Endoscopes have a light and a camera on the end, which allows the doctor to view the inside of the body and take pictures or video for further analysis. There are different types of endoscopy, depending on the part of the body being examined. For example, a gastroscopy allows a doctor to examine the inside of the esophagus, stomach, and the upper part of the small intestine (duodenum), while a colonoscopy allows a doctor to examine the inside of the large intestine (colon) and rectum. Other types of endoscopy include bronchoscopy (examination of the bronchi and lungs), cystoscopy (examination of the bladder), and arthroscopy (examination of joints).
