Upper GI endoscopy, also known as esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), is a common and valuable procedure that allows a gastroenterologist to directly visualize the lining of the upper part of the digestive tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). A thin, flexible tube with a camera and light attached (endoscope) is gently passed through the mouth and down into these organs. During the procedure, the physician can examine the lining for any abnormalities such as inflammation, ulcers, polyps, tumors, or bleeding. If necessary, biopsies (small tissue samples) can be taken for further microscopic examination. Upper GI endoscopy is often performed to investigate symptoms such as persistent heartburn, upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, difficulty swallowing, and unexplained weight loss. It can help diagnose conditions like GERD, gastritis, peptic ulcers, Barrett's esophagus, and upper gastrointestinal cancers. Therapeutic interventions can also be performed during an upper endoscopy, such as stopping bleeding, dilating narrowings (strictures), and removing polyps. The procedure is typically performed under sedation to ensure patient comfort.
