Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) or oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD), also called by various other names, is a diagnostic endoscopic procedure that visualizes the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract down to the duodenum.

Upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy (esophagogastroduodenoscopy [EGD]) includes visualization of the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and proximal duodenum, with real-time assessment and interpretation of the findings encountered.

2023年8月8日 · Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic endoscopic procedure that includes visualization of the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and proximal duodenum. It is one of the most common procedures that a gastroenterologist performs.

What is an Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)? An endoscopic ultrasound is very similar to an OGD which you may have already had. The difference is that the endoscope (flexible camera) has a small ultrasound scanner with a balloon on the end of it. This allows the endoscopist to see behind the oesophagus/stomach/duodenum wall.

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage is an alternative that is typically reserved for cases of ERCP failure. Recently, however, there have been robust randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing EUS-guided drainage and ERCP as primary approaches to MBO.

EUS-BD showed a statistically significant lower reintervention rate than ERCP, but with similar technical success, stent patency, clinical success, and safety. Technical success of EUS-BD with LAMS was better than ERCP.

2024年7月2日 · An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy involves inserting a flexible, lighted tube called an endoscope down your throat and into your esophagus. A tiny camera on the end of the endoscope lets your doctor examine your esophagus, stomach and the beginning of your small intestine, called the duodenum.

What Is Gastroscopy (Upper GI Endoscopy)? Upper GI Endoscopy or Gastroscopy is also known as oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGDS). It is a specialized endoscopic examination where a small scope is passed through your mouth, down your food pipe (oesophagus) into your stomach and down to your duodenum (first part of the small intestines).

2025年1月3日 · OGDS (also called a gastroscopy) is a procedure where a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope is inserted into your mouth to look inside the oesophagus, stomach and first part of the small intestine (known as the duodenum).

2023年4月27日 · The terms gastroscopy, upper GI endoscopy, and oesophagogastrodudenoscopy (OGD) are often used interchangeably. This guide will cover …
