Endoscopy
Endoscopy is a medical procedure that allows a doctor to look inside a patient's body in order to diagnose and treat diseases. An endoscope, a long thin tube with a light and camera at one end, is inserted into the body, usually through a natural opening such as the mouth. The camera provides images of the internal organs and structures in real time, enabling the doctor to diagnose and treat conditions such as cancer, stomach ulcers and blockages of the intestines. Endoscopy can also be used to perform surgery, allowing for less invasive procedures that have fewer side effects and a quicker recovery. The use of endoscopy is invaluable in the diagnosis and treatment of many medical conditions.

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.
