Why Gastroscopy is Performed

Gastroscopy serves as a vital tool in diagnosing various gastrointestinal conditions and diseases. Some of the key reasons why it is performed include:

  • Detection of Gastrointestinal Disorders: Gastroscopy aids in identifying and evaluating conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, celiac disease, swallowing difficulties, and unexplained abdominal pain
  • Diagnostic Biopsies: During the procedure, tissue samples or biopsies can be obtained for further analysis, allowing for the detection of abnormalities such as inflammation, infection, or malignancies.
  • Assessment of Treatment Effectiveness : Gastroscopy may also be performed to monitor the effectiveness of ongoing treatments or interventions for gastrointestinal disorders.
  • Procedure

    During a gastroscopy procedure

  • Preparation: Patients are typically instructed to refrain from eating or drinking for a specified period before the procedure to ensure a clear view of the digestive tract.
  • Sedation: Sedation or anesthesia is administered to ensure patient comfort and relaxation throughout the procedure.
  • Insertion of Endoscope: The lubricated endoscope is carefully inserted through the mouth and guided down the throat into the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.
  • Visualization and Examination: The endoscope transmits images of the digestive tract to a monitor, allowing the gastroenterologist to visually inspect the lining of the organs for any abnormalities.
  • Biopsy:If necessary, the gastroenterologist may take tissue samples or biopsies for further analysis.
  • Risks Associated with Gastroscopy

    Although gastroscopy is considered a safe procedure, there are some potential risks and complications, albeit rare, including:

  • Perforation:The risk of perforation or puncturing of the digestive tract lining.
  • Bleeding:Minimal risk of bleeding, particularly if biopsies are taken during the procedure
  • Reaction to Sedation:Some individuals may experience adverse reactions to the sedative medications administered during the procedure.
