    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopy

    Background:

    • Modern fibreoptic instruments have advanced gastroscopy, replacing older semi-flexible models.
    • Gastroscopy is a well-established procedure for investigating upper gastrointestinal conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of modern fibreoptic gastroscopy.
    • To highlight the safety, indications, and procedural requirements for gastroscopy.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of diagnostic indications including radiological abnormalities and dyspepsia.
    • Overview of therapeutic interventions such as polypectomy, electrocoagulation, and laser therapy.
    • Discussion of procedural setting, safety, and complication rates.

    Main Results:

    • Gastroscopy is safe and reliable with modern fibreoptic technology.
    • Indications span diagnosis (e.g., bleeding, dyspepsia) and therapy (e.g., polyp removal, bleeding control).
    • Low complication rates are observed in experienced hands under appropriate conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • Gastroscopy is a crucial routine investigation for patients with upper gastrointestinal problems.
    • The procedure is suitable for outpatient settings when performed in equipped areas with resuscitation facilities.
    • Experienced practitioners ensure the safety and efficacy of gastroscopy.
