What is the difference between a diagnostic and a surgical endoscopy?

Answer 1

Not quite sure yet I can say with a question such as this it would make more sense to pull up these two medical procedures on the internet.

1. Gastroscopy is a small part in endoscopy. Where endoscopy looks at all the structures of the human body from joint spaces to the lower intestines, gastroscopy only involves the upper GI tract.

2. Endoscopy may involve incisions made for an artificial orifice, and gastroscopy utilizes the natural opening: the mouth.

3. Gastroscopy procedures are accomplished with local anaesthesia and sedation, whereas endoscopy may require general anaesthesia.

4. Complications of gastroscopy are very limited, but those of endoscopy may extend to a wider scope.

5. Both these use similar technologies and both can be enhanced with ultrasound or other utility.

6. Both are invasive conditions and carry the risk of infection. Both are used for various indications from investigation to palliation.

7. Gastroscopy is one of the commonest types of endoscopy techniques used, and relatively safe in the hands of a professional. The two are not separate entities, but a variable within a larger variable.

Diagnostic endoscopy is a procedure that a physician may view the common bile duct or the entire biliary tract. Surgical Endoscopy uses scopes going thrught small incisions or natural body openings in order to diagnose and treat disease
