gastroscopist

[Tariq Zaki]

Gastroscopist is a term used to describe someone who specializes in gastroenterology, the branch of medicine that deals with disorders affecting the digestive system. It is a medical term that refers to someone who performs endoscopies, which are procedures in which a flexible tube with an attached camera is passed through the mouth and down into the stomach or intestines to examine them. The term is derived from the Greek words gaster meaning stomach and scopos meaning sight, thus indicating the role of gastroscopists in examining and diagnosing gastrointestinal disorders.
