Endoscopy
Endoscopy is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to examine the interior of a hollow organ. It involves inserting a thin flexible tube with a camera and light at its tip into the body through a small incision. Endoscopy is important for early detection and treatment of many medical conditions, such as cancer, ulcers, and internal bleeding. It can also be used to perform biopsies and remove foreign bodies, as well as to assess organ function and diagnose diseases of the digestive tract, respiratory system, and urinary tract. Endoscopy is a safe and effective way to diagnose and treat medical problems, saving both time and money.

Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure which uses a special surgical instrument called a laparoscope to look inside the body or to perform certain operations. A more recent technique called single-port laparoscopy involves operating through the same incision through which the laparoscope was passed.
