An endoscope is a thin, long, flexible tube that has a light source and a video camera at one end. Images of the inside of your body are relayed to an external television screen. Endoscopes can be inserted into the body through a natural opening, such as through the throat or anus. Alternatively, it can be inserted through a small surgical incision (cut) that is made in the skin. Endoscopy is a critical part of every gastroenterologist's skill sets, and forms a core part of GI training in both residency and fellowship training (US) and foundation and registrar/senior registrar training (UK).
