The upper part of your gastrointestinal tract includes your esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. The upper endoscopy is performed to diagnose and, in some cases, treat problems of the upper digestive system. The procedure is performed using a flexible endoscope.The flexible endoscope is a long, thin, flexible tube with a tiny camera and light on the end. The endoscope projects high quality pictures on a monitor which enables the physician to carefully examine the inside lining of the upper digestive system.
