AI EXPLANATION: An upper endoscopy, often abbreviated as an EGD, is a procedure in which a physician examines the lining of the upper digestive tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and the start of the small intestine. A thin, flexible tube with a miniature camera and light is guided through the mouth. During this exam, the clinician uses a specialized wire loop, known as a snare, to safely capture and remove polyps, abnormal tissue, or other small growths.
