Endoszkópokat

Endoszkópokat, commonly known as endoscopes, are medical instruments used to examine the interior of the body. They typically consist of a long, flexible tube with a light source and a camera at the tip. This allows medical professionals to visualize internal organs and tissues without the need for invasive surgery. Endoscopes can be used for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.

Diagnostic endoscopy involves using the instrument to identify the cause of symptoms, such as abdominal pain or bleeding. The camera transmits images to a monitor, enabling doctors to detect abnormalities like inflammation, ulcers, or tumors. Biopsy samples can also be taken through the endoscope for further laboratory analysis.

Therapeutic endoscopy utilizes the endoscope to perform various procedures. This can include removing polyps, stopping bleeding, dilating narrowed passages, or even performing certain types of surgery. The flexibility of modern endoscopes allows them to navigate complex anatomical pathways within the body, reaching areas that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to access. Different types of endoscopes exist, designed for specific parts of the body, such as gastroscopes for the stomach and colonoscopes for the colon. The development of endoscopy has significantly advanced minimally invasive medical techniques.
