Endoscopy means looking inside and refers to looking inside the human body for medical reasons.
Overview
It is a minimally invasive diagnostic medical procedure used to evaluate the interior surfaces of an organ by inserting a small scope in the body, often but not necessarily through a natural body opening. Through the scope, one is able to see lesions.
