We show here some views thru the endoscopes
The upper GI endoscopy shows views of stomach mucosa
The lower GI shows colon and removal of polyps
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT GASTROINTESTINAL FIBRESCOPES (INCLUDING GASTRSCOPES, DUODENOSCOPES AND CLONOSCOPES)?
Based on the angle of view are three types of instruments:-
1. Forward or oblique (for oblique) viewing for examination and
biopsy(a)
This is suitable for examining the oesophagus, most of the
stomach and the upper part of the duodenum
2. Side or lateral viewing for examination, biopsy and operative
procedures in the duodenum(b)
This is needed when full examination of oesphagus, stomach,
duodenum and biliary system is required. This includes the
fundus of the stomach and the duodenal bulb
3. Forward viewing with two channels for complex operative
procedures.
This is generally larger in diameter than the previous two and
has suitable dimension channels incorporated for operating
instruments. A wide range of procedures can be undertaken(c)
All three types of instruments can be obtained from several
manufacturers
