Understanding Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a medical procedure that allows doctors to view the inside of the esophagus, stomach, and upper part of the small intestine. It is done using a flexible tube with a camera called an endoscope. This test helps diagnose and sometimes treat problems in the upper digestive tract.

Inside View – How Esophagogastroduodenoscopy Works

During an EGD, the patient is usually given a mild sedative and a numbing spray for the throat. A thin, flexible endoscope is gently inserted through the mouth and guided down the throat into the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. The endoscope has a light and camera that sends real-time images to a screen. Special channels in the scope allow tools to pass through for biopsy, polyp removal, or treatment of bleeding areas. The procedure takes about 15 to 30 minutes and is usually done on an outpatient basis. It helps doctors see inside the upper digestive tract without surgery.

Why Doctors Recommend EGD?

  • To investigate causes of persistent upper abdominal pain or discomfort.
  • To find the cause of bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
  • To diagnose conditions such as ulcers, tumors, or inflammation in the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum.
  • To monitor and treat known GI disorders, such as Barrett’s esophagus or esophageal varices.
  • To remove foreign objects or perform biopsies for further testing.
