Endoskoopilisel

Endoskoopilisel refers to a medical procedure that utilizes an endoscope. An endoscope is a thin, flexible tube equipped with a light and a camera, allowing physicians to visualize the interior of the body. This minimally invasive technique is employed for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.

In diagnostics, endoskoopilisel procedures enable doctors to directly observe internal organs, tissues, or cavities that are not otherwise visible. The camera transmits images to a monitor, providing a clear view of the examined area. This can help in identifying abnormalities, such as inflammation, ulcers, polyps, or tumors, in organs like the esophagus, stomach, intestines, lungs, or bladder. Biopsies, which involve taking small tissue samples for further examination, can also be performed during an endoscopic procedure.

Therapeutically, endoskoopilisel interventions can be used to treat various conditions without the need for major surgery. For example, polyps can be removed, bleeding sites can be cauterized, or narrowed passageways can be dilated using specialized instruments passed through the endoscope. The minimal invasiveness of endoskoopilisel procedures generally leads to shorter recovery times and reduced patient discomfort compared to traditional open surgery. Common examples include gastroscopy, colonoscopy, and bronchoscopy.
