The sac-shaped digestive organ that is located in the upper abdomen, under the ribs. The upper part of the stomach connects to the esophagus, and the lower part leads into the small intestine.
A panendoscopy is a procedure that a physician uses to examine the lining of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). A panendoscope is a long, flexible tube that is passed through the mouth and back of the throat into the upper digestive tract. This procedure is commonly performed since many problems of the upper digestive tract can’t be diagnosed with an X-ray.
You will be given medication to make you relaxed and sleepy, and the back of your throat may be sprayed with a local anesthetic. The panendoscope will be inserted through your mouth and each part of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum.
This procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. Your throat may be sore for a few hours, and you may feel fullness in your abdomen because of the air that was introduced to examine your stomach.
