Gastroscopy
A gastroscopy is an examination of the inside of your oesophagus (gullet), the stomach, and the duodenum (the first bend of the small intestine). To do this a thin, flexible tube approximately the size of a woman’s little finger called a gastroscope is used.

The stomach produces hydrochloric acid to help breakdown and digest food. In some people, this acid can become a problem. Acid can rise up into the gullet (oesophagus), cause discomfort, and pain.

A flexible sigmoidoscopy is an examination that allows the endoscopist (person performing the test) to look directly at the lining of the lower part of your bowel (approximately the first third) using a sigmoidoscope (a flexible tube about the thickness of a women’s index finger).

Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy is an examination, which allows the endoscopist to (person performing the test) look directly at the lining of all the large intestine or colon using a colonoscope.

ERCP
An ERCP is a test that allows the endoscopist (person performing the test) to diagnose and treat problems with the tubes (ducts) draining the gallbladder, pancreas, and liver (the drainage routes of the liver are known as bile ducts).
ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreatography) What will happen following my ERCP? Bronchoscopy
A bronchoscopy is a procedure where an endoscopist (person performing the test) looks into your large airways (the trachea and bronchi) using a bronchoscope (a thin, flexible, telescope about as thick as a pencil). While they are performing this test they are able to take different types of samples to help with your diagnosis.
