Definition. An esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), which is also known as an upper endoscopy or upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure that is performed to view the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (part of the small intestine).
EGD (esophagealgastrodudonoscopy), dilation of the esophagus for strictures (narrowing), screening colonoscopies, and therapeutic (removing polyps) colonoscopies are performed at the endoscopy centers. The physicians perform several other procedures in the hospital. To learn more, visit our conditions page.
