What is an Endoscopy?
An endoscopy is a procedure in which a doctor uses specialized instruments to view and operate on the internal organs and vessels of your body. It is the Nonsurgical process in which doctors can view internal organs through the endoscope. An ENT specialist inserts an endoscope through a small cut or an opening in the body such as the Ear and Nose. An endoscope is a flexible tube with an attached camera that allows otolaryngologists to see. Dr. Suraj Giri’s best otolaryngologist can use forceps and scissors on the endoscope to operate or remove tissue for biopsy.

Ear Endoscopy:
At Devgiri Memorial Hospital our ear surgery specialists (Dr. SurajGiri) have years of training and experience in minimally invasive transcanal endoscopic ear surgery. He uses advanced techniques to treat conditions such as infections, hearing loss, and tumors.
Ear Endoscopy generally uses for middle ear surgeries. Transcanal endoscopic ear surgery (TEES) is minimally invasive surgery to operate on tiny, delicate structures within the middle ear. It differs from traditional ear surgery in that surgeons access the middle ear through the ear canal rather than through an incision behind the ear. This causes less pain and results in a faster recovery. Most middle-ear conditions that we treat with TEES are not life-threatening, but they can greatly affect a person’s quality of life.
Dr. Suraj Giri performs TEES whenever possible to avoid the need for an incision behind the ear and an opening through the skull bone. In most cases, patients who undergo endoscopic ear surgery can usually go home the same day of their procedure. Patients who are having a tumor removed typically stay in the hospital for two to three days.
Nasal Endoscopy:
Nasal endoscopy also Called Rhinoscopy, is performed by ENT Specialists where they have a direct, high-quality, and magnified vision as they evaluate your sinus and nasal passages. A nasal endoscope is an instrument that consists of a rigid, thin tube with fiber-optic cables. It connects to a video camera and light source where magnified images project onto a screen. The otolaryngologist then captures and records the endoscopic images to document for each patient.
At Devgiri Memorial hospital during a nasal endoscopy procedure, the ear, nose, and throat physician inserts the instrument into your nose and guides it through your sinus and nasal passages as they view the images of the area they’re examining. The procedure helps with diagnosing and treating different health conditions. Sometimes, the physician may use small tools to perform certain tasks like gathering tiny tissue samples. One of the most common uses for having a nasal endoscopy procedure done is rhinosinusitis.
You might experience symptoms like facial pain, nasal blockage and greenish or yellow nose fluid. The doctor can use nasal endoscopy to check for polyps and swelling. They may gather pus from an infected area which will help them determine what the infection cause is and what treatment is best.
