Endoscopy (endoscopy)

Understand the endoscopy procedure: when it is recommended, how it is done, safety, and how results are reported.

Gastritis: endoscopic signs and typical variants

Gastritis is a lesion of the gastric mucosa, characterized by predominantly inflammatory changes in the acute phase and dysregeneration, structural changes, and progressive mucosal changes in the chronic phase, accompanied by dysfunction of the stomach and other organs and systems. Symptoms of gastritis are present in 60% of the population.

Gastroscopy: Proper Preparation for the Examination

Patient preparation for endoscopy may require some considerations depending on the nature of the examination (routine or emergency) and the patient's overall condition. For routine endoscopies, the patient should fast for at least 4 hours prior to the procedure.

Gastroscopy: indications, limitations and contraindications

It should be noted that if a patient has a life-threatening condition, endoscopy is absolutely justified. Thus, gastroduodenoscopy should be performed even in patients with myocardial infarction or acute cerebrovascular accident who experience gastrointestinal bleeding, both to identify the cause and extent of the bleeding and to stop it.

Gastric endoscopy

Gastric endoscopy (EGD, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, gastroscopy) is a type of endoscopic examination in which the duodenum, gastric mucosa and esophagus are examined using an endoscope.
