Endoscopy is a medical procedure where by a doctor who is a gastroenterologist uses a tube-like device that allows him or her to see the insides of the alimentary tract, also known as the gastrointestinal tract so as to make sure all is normal on the inside.
If the tube-like device is used to view the oesophagus, stomach and upper part of the small intestine, the procedure is called upper endoscopy or, to be more technical, oesophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (OGD).
If the device is used to view the colon (large intestine), the procedure is called colonoscopy.
