Upper Endoscopy (Esophagogastroduodenoscopy - EGD)
About the procedure
Upper endoscopy, also known as Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), is a procedure that allows direct visualisation of the upper gastrointestinal tract, including the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum (first part of the small intestine). It is used to diagnose and treat conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, Barrett's oesophagus, inflammation, strictures, and early-stage cancers. EGD is considered the most accurate test for evaluating the upper GI tract.
