What is endoscopy used for?
When the abnormalities are found, biopsy can be taken to ascertain the nature of the lesions. Polyps in the gut can be removed, without the need for an operation. Stones in the bile ducts can be removed. It can also help in the placement of feeding tubes in the stomach or breathing tube in the airways.
