Endoscopy

Endoscopy

Endoscopy is the visual inspection of the interior of the gut using an endoscope. A small-calibre tube containing fibres or video optics is inserted through the mouth allowing the endoscopist to view the upper and lower Gastrointestinal tract.

RMI has introduced a video endoscopic recording system where the patient will be given a recorded video of the examination carried out.
