endovizsgálati

Endovizsgálat is a Hungarian term that translates to "endoscopic examination" in English. It refers to a medical procedure that uses an endoscope, a flexible or rigid tube with a light and camera, to visualize the internal organs and cavities of the body. These examinations are crucial for diagnosing various conditions, assessing their severity, and sometimes even performing therapeutic interventions.

The procedure typically involves inserting the endoscope through a natural orifice, such as the mouth, anus, or urethra, or through a small incision made in the skin. The camera on the endoscope transmits images to a monitor, allowing the physician to view the internal structures in detail. Depending on the area being examined, different types of endoscopes are used. For instance, a gastroscope is used to examine the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, while a colonoscope is used for the large intestine.

Endoscopic examinations are employed for a wide range of diagnostic purposes, including the detection of inflammation, ulcers, polyps, tumors, and bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system, and urinary tract. Biopsies can be taken during the procedure to obtain tissue samples for further analysis. In addition to diagnosis, endoscopes can also be used for treatments such as removing polyps, stopping bleeding, or dilating narrowed passages. The procedure is generally considered safe, though risks such as bleeding or perforation may be associated with it, depending on the specific type of examination and any interventions performed.
