Endoscopy

Endoscopy is among the more common minimally invasive medical diagnostic procedures that are performed today. It involves the insertion of a special tube, called an endoscope, into the body, usually through a natural orifice, such as the nose, mouth, rectum, urethra, or vagina. Through this tube, doctors can closely examine the insides of organs or bodily cavities.
