The term “Upper Endoscopy” is a medical procedure that lets our endoscopy NYC doctors visually inspect the lining of the upper part of your gastrointestinal tract. This includes your esophagus, stomach and duodenum, which is the upper portion of your small intestine.

Our endoscopy doctors, best in class NYC gastroenterologists uses a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope for this procedure. The endoscope has a lens and light source on its tip, and it sends the video it captures to a video monitor so the GI doctor and endoscopy specialist can view and interpret the images.

An endoscopy requires only mild sedation, while the small, flexible video camera is passed through the mouth into either the stomach or intestine to allow the gastroenterologist, NYC endoscopy doctor to identify problems in the gastrointestinal tract and, in some circumstances, remove abnormal growths.

Why You May Need an Upper Endoscopy in NYC
Upper endoscopy in NYC helps gastroenterologist and our GI doctors find the source of symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or difficulty swallowing. It’s also the best test to find the cause of bleeding from your upper gastrointestinal tract. Upper endoscopy we use in our New York endoscopy center is more accurate than X-rays for detecting inflammation, ulcers and tumors of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum.

Our doctors also can use upper endoscopy to retrieve a biopsy or small tissue sample. They’ll send the sample to a laboratory to distinguish between benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) tissues. Keep in mind that the doctor may take a biopsy for many reasons, even if they don’t suspect cancer. For example, a biopsy can test for Helicobacter pylori, the bacterium that causes ulcers.

NYC upper endoscopy is the perfect tool for treating medical conditions in your upper gastrointestinal tract. The gastroenterologist can pass a variety of instruments through the endoscope with little or no discomfort to you. For example, they may use upper endoscopy NYC to perform a cytology test, in which they passes a small brush through the endoscope to collect cells for later analysis. They can stretch or dilate a narrowed area, treat bleeding or remove polyps, which usually are benign growths, from the lining of your gastrointestinal tract.
