Introduction: What is Endoscopy?
Endoscopy is a nonsurgical procedure done to examine a person’s digestive tract. In this a long, thin tube is inserted into the body to observe the internal organ or tissue in detail.

Endoscopes have been developed for many parts of the body. Each has its own name, depending on the part of the body it is intended to investigate, such as:
- Bronchoscope – inserted down the trachea (windpipe) to examine the lung.
