About the Procedure
Upper endoscopy (gastroscopy) is a minimally invasive diagnostic tool used to visualize the inner lining of the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. Performed with a thin, flexible camera, this procedure allows Dr. Zaid Gul to identify ulcers, inflammation, and tumors that might not appear on an X-ray or CT scan, and to take biopsy samples when needed.
