Gastroscopy (upper GI endoscopy) is a procedure that uses an endoscope (a flexible tube with a camera) to see inside the upper digestive tract – including the oesophagus, stomach and the first part of the small intestine (duodenum)


A colonoscopy is a procedure used to inspect the large bowel (colon) using a flexible tube called a colonoscope. During the procedure the colonoscope is inserted into the back passage and carefully fed through the colon and into the end of the small bowel (ileum)

An endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is where the doctor uses an instrument called an endoscope, which has an ultrasound probe at its tip to examine the wall layers (inside and outside) of the upper gastrointestinal tract .

An ERCP is where the doctor examines the tubes (ducts) that drain your liver, pancreas and gallbladder. The doctor will pass the endoscope, which is a flexible tube with a camera attached which allows the doctor to see the food pipe, stomach and the small bowel.

A flexible sigmoidoscopy is a procedure that is used to see the inside of the sigmoid colon and rectum – the last part of the large bowel. A thin flexible tube is passed into the back passage into the lower colon (sigmoid colon).
