Endoscopy is a procedure that allows doctors to see inside the body using a thin, flexible tube with a camera on the end. It is used to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions, including gastrointestinal disorders, lung disease, and cancer.
The word “endoscopy” comes from the Greek words “endon” (within) and “skopeein” (to view). The procedure was first developed in the 19th century, and it has since become an essential tool for doctors.
