Gastroscopy is mainly categorized into two types: painless gastroscopy and general gastroscopy, both of which generally belong to the Department of Gastroenterology.
The gastroscope is inserted through the mouth to observe the mucous membrane of the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, and other digestive tracts starting from the mouth, to observe whether there is erosion, inflammation, ulcers, etc., and to pay attention to whether there are any polyps, tumors, etc. present. Generally speaking, gastroscopy not only belongs to the examination program, but also can be treated, such as gastroscopic polypectomy, gastroscopic hemostasis, etc. Gastroscopy is operated by professional gastroenterologists.
Therefore, gastroscopy belongs to the gastroenterology office, which can be used to diagnose digestive system diseases and also to treat gastric polyps, gastric bleeding and other digestive system diseases.
