What is an upper GI endoscopy?
An upper GI endoscopy or EGD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy) is a procedure to diagnose and treat problems in your upper GI (gastrointestinal) tract.
The upper GI tract includes your food pipe (esophagus), stomach, and the first part of your small intestine (the duodenum).
This procedure is done using a long, flexible tube called an endoscope. The tube has a tiny light and video camera on one end. The tube is put into your mouth and throat. Then it is slowly pushed through your esophagus and stomach, and into your duodenum.
An upper endoscopy allows for a direct view and biopsies. It can be more accurate than X-rays in diagnosing problems in the upper digestive system. These problems include:
Acid reflux (gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD) and heartburn.
Cancerous and noncancerous tumors.
Inflammation, such as esophagitis, gastritis and duodenitis.
Gastrointestinal disorders, such as celiac disease and Crohn’s disease.
Stomach (peptic) ulcers.
Swallowing disorders.
