Endoscopy is an invasive medical procedure where a bullet type small camera (scope) is inserted in order to view your lower intestinal organs. This is usually used for diagnosis prurposes so that the physicial will be able to see what it inside the wall of the intestines. This can also be done together with a surgery done also in the lower intestines.
