ENDOSCOPY
Endoscopy is a nonsurgical procedure used to
examine a person's digestive tract. Using an
endoscope, a flexible tube with a light and
camera attached to it, your doctor can view
pictures of your digestive tract on a color TV
monitor.
Dr. Robin D. Durrett, Board Certified General
Surgeon, offers two types of endoscopy at our
facility:
Upper endoscopy, also known as EGD, is a procedure in
which a thin scope with a light and camera at its tip is
used to look inside the upper digestive tract -- the
esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine,
called the duodenum.
Colonoscopy is a test that allows your doctor to look at
the inner lining of your large intestine (rectum and
colon). He or she uses a thin, flexible tube called a
colonoscope to look at the colon. A colonoscopy helps
find ulcers, colon polyps, tumors, and areas of
inflammation or bleeding.
