Panendoscopy
Endoscopy is a medical procedure used to examine the inside of the human body, particularly the cavities and hollow organs.
In this procedure, a medical instrument called an endoscope is used, which is a long, thin tube with a camera and a light at its end.
In general, endoscopy is a safe and effective outpatient procedure, meaning the patient does not have to spend the night in the hospital and can return home the same day after the procedure.
