UK - London - Endoscopy procedure by NHS surgeon

brief title

An NHS surgeon performs an operation in a London hospital using endoscopy. Watching the progress of the instrument as it makes its way along a part of the stomach, the surgeon uses his skill to make minute adjustments using great care and hand-eye co-ordination. Endoscopy means ‘looking inside’ and typically refers to looking inside the body for medical reasons using an endoscope, an instrument used to examine the interior of a hollow organ or cavity of the body. Unlike most other medical imaging devices, endoscopes are inserted directly into the organ. Endoscopy can also refer to using a borescope in technical situations where direct line-of-sight observation is not feasible.
