Detailed explanation-1: -This test is also sometimes called an esophagogastroduodenoscopy, or EGD. This procedure is done with an endoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a light and a small video camera on the end. The tube is put in through your mouth, down your throat, and into your esophagus, stomach, and small intestine.
Detailed explanation-2: -During an endoscopy your doctor gently inserts a long, flexible tube, or endoscope, into your mouth, down your throat and into your esophagus. A fiber-optic endoscope has a light and tiny camera at the end. Your doctor can use this device to view your esophagus, stomach and the beginning of your small intestine.
Detailed explanation-3: -You’ll be asked to lie on your side on an exam table. The doctor will carefully pass the endoscope down your esophagus and into your stomach and duodenum. A small camera mounted on the endoscope will send a video image to a monitor, allowing close examination of the lining of your upper GI tract.
