What is endoscopy?

Endoscopy is a medical procedure that involves inserting a long, thin, flexible tube with a camera and light source attached to it (endoscope) into the body to view internal organs and tissues. It is commonly used for diagnosis, screening, and sometimes treatment of various conditions affecting the digestive tract, respiratory system, and other areas of the body.
