OGD (oesophageal gastroduodenoscope) – Gastroscopy is a common procedure performed to allow direct visualization of the upper gastrointestinal tract (food pipe, stomach and duodenum) using a flexible instrument through which a live image passes. A gastroscopy is performed to evaluate symptoms like difficulty swallowing, stomach or chest pain, nausea and vomiting and anemia (low blood count). It can also be used to control bleeding from food pipe, stomach or duodenal ulcer.
Colonoscope – Colonoscopy is an investigation to evaluate inside the large intestine. It is used to investigate symptoms like abdominal pain, blood in the stool, change in bowel habit and screening for colon cancer in those above 50 years of age or those with strong family history of colon cancer. Colonic polyps can be removed during colonoscope.
