5. Specialties : Colonoscopy • Colonoscopy is a common, safe test to examine the lining of the large bowel. During a colonoscopy, doctors who are trained in this procedure (endoscopists) can also see part of the small intestine (small bowel) and the end of the GI tract (the rectum). This procedure is often done under sedation to assure maximal patient comfort. • Colonoscopy can detect and sometimes treat polyps, colorectal bleeding, fissures, strictures, fistulas, foreign bodies, Crohn's Disease, and colorectal cancer

6. Sigmoidoscopy • Sigmoidoscopy, or "flexible sigmoidoscopy," lets a physician examine the lining of the rectum and a portion of the colon (large intestine) by inserting a flexible tube about the thickness of your finger into the anus and slowly advancing it into the rectum and lower part of the colon. • Sigmoidoscopy is often done without any sedation, although sedation can be used if necessary. • Sigmoidoscopy should not be used for polypectomy unless the entire colon is adequately prepared. This procedure should also not be used with cases of diverticulitis and peritonitis.

7. Upper Endoscopy • Upper endoscopy allows for examination of the lining of the upper part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which includes the esophagus, stomach and duodenum (first portion of the small intestine). In upper endoscopy, the physician uses a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope. • The endoscope has a lens and light source, which projects images on a video monitor. This procedure is also referred to as upper GI endoscopy, or esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). • Upper endoscopy can also be used to perform a cytology (cell) test, in which a small brush is passed through the channel of the endoscope to collect cells for analysis.

8. Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a specialized technique used to study and treat problems of the liver, pancreas and, on occasion, the gallbladder. • ERCP is performed under sedation. Generally, the level of sedation for ERCP is deeper than upper endoscopy and colonoscopy due to the complexity and length of the procedure. • ERCP can be used to diagnose biliary colic, jaundice, elevated liver enzymes, cholangitis (inflammation of a bile duct), pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), and bile-duct (biliary) obstruction due to gallstones (choledocholithiasis) and cancer.

9. Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) • A flexible endoscope which has a small ultrasound device built into the end can be used to see the lining and wall of the esophagus, stomach, small bowel, or colon. • The ultrasound component produces sound waves that create visual images of the digestive tract which extend beyond the inner surface lining and also allows visualization of adjacent organs. • Endoscopic ultrasound examinations (also called endoluminal endosonography) may be performed through the mouth or through the anus. EUS is performed under sedation.
