Abstract
Endoscopy is the best minimally invasive method for evaluating the oesophagus for inflammatory disease, strictures, foreign bodies and neoplasia. This chapter covers instrumentation, indications and contraindications, patient preparation and positioning, procedure, normal and pathological findings, and complications. The chapter also includes a video clip.
