Esophagogastro- duodenoscopy - EGD

EGD (upper endoscopy) is used to eval­u­ate the esoph­a­gus, stom­ach, and upper diges­tive tract and per­form advanced diag­nos­tic and ther­a­peu­tic procedures.

Pro­ce­dures and tech­niques include:

• EGD bal­loon dilation
• EGD cry­o­di­la­tion
• Endo­scop­ic mucos­al resec­tion (EMR)
• Endo­scop­ic full thick­ness resec­tion (EFTR) for polyp or ear­­ly-stage tumor removal

Addi­tion­al advanced tech­niques, such as WATS-3D sam­pling and argon plas­ma coag­u­la­tion (APC), may be used when appropriate.
