Upper GI Endoscopy
Upper GI Endoscopy In Ahmedabad
Upper endoscopy lets your doctor examine the lining of the upper part of your gastrointestinal tract, which includes the esophagus, stomach and duodenum (the first portion of the small intestine). Your doctor will use a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope, and will view the images on a video monitor.
Why is upper endoscopy done?
- Abdominal pain
- Reaction to Sedative
- Bleeding
- Very Rarely Perforation
What happens during upper endoscopy?
Your doctor might start by spraying your throat with a local anesthetic or by giving you a sedative to help you relax. You’ll then lie on your side, and your doctor will pass the endoscope through your mouth and into the esophagus, stomach and duodenum. The endoscope doesn’t interfere with your breathing. Most patients consider the test only slightly uncomfortable, and many patients fall asleep during the procedure.
What are the possible complications of upper endoscopy?
Although complications can occur, they are rare when doctors who are specially trained and experienced in this procedure perform the test.
Most common complications that may occur: -
- Abdominal pain
- Reaction to Sedative
