Common gastroenterology procedures include endoscopies, colonoscopies, and liver biopsies. During an endoscopy, a flexible tube with a camera is inserted through the mouth to examine the esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine. A colonoscopy involves inserting a similar tube through the rectum to inspect the colon. Both procedures allow for biopsy, polyp removal, and other interventions. Liver biopsies involve extracting a small tissue sample using a needle for laboratory analysis. These procedures are essential for diagnosing and treating various GI conditions.
