Endoscopy is a minimally invasive medical procedure used for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of complications in the internal organs of the body. An endoscope is introduced into the individual's body through either the natural cavities or a small incision. The camera or the light source is attached to the tip of the endoscope, which allows the physician or medical professional to view the organs of interest. Most endoscopic procedures are performed in the clinics/hospitals or an outpatient setting. The benefits of endoscopy include low cost, speedy recovery, reduction in the need for open surgery procedures, and less time require for diagnosis. Because of these advantages, many countries provide reimbursement programs, and private health insurance companies are encouraging the use of endoscopic procedures.
