What is gastroenteroscopy? How to do it?
Gastrointestinal endoscopy is the most intuitive inspection method for gastrointestinal diseases. Doctors can clearly observe the microscopic lesions in the gastrointestinal tract through gastrointestinal endoscopy, and can also obtain diseased tissue samples through biopsy, and conduct further microscopic examination to make the disease easier. A clear diagnosis can provide a basis for treatment, so it has an irreplaceable role in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases.
Gastroscopy is a mirror that enters from the mouth, passes through the pharynx, esophagus, and enters the descending part of the duodenum, and can examine the esophagus, stomach, duodenal bulb, and descending duodenum.
Colonoscopy usually refers to colonoscopy, which is entered from the anus, and the inspection scope mainly includes the rectum, large intestine, sigmoid colon, ascending colon, descending colon, transverse colon, and ileocecal. Parts of the small intestine, including the ileum, cecal ileum, and jejunum, were examined by enteroscopy. Usually gastroenteroscopy refers to the examination of gastroscopy and colonoscopy.
