File name | Upper GI Endoscopy |
File Description | Esophagogastroduodenoscopy may be abbreviated to 'EGD' while panendoscopy is to 'PES'. It is also called 'upper GI endoscopy', 'gastroscopy' or simply 'endoscopy' (since it is the most commonly performed type of endoscopy, the ambiguous term 'endoscopy' refers to EGD by default).In medicine (gastroenterology), esophagogastroduodenoscopy or panendoscopy is a diagnostic endoscopic procedure that visualizes the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract up to the duodenum. It is considered a minimally invasive procedure since it does not require an incision into one of the major body cavities and does not require any significant recovery after the procedure (unless sedation or anesthesia has been used). However, a sore throat is common. |
