Overview

The endoscope has been before one of the diagnostic tools for esophagitis. However, endoscopy is not recommended now for the diagnosis of esophagitis with the typical symptoms, however, it is used in screening for the esophagitis complications such as esophageal strictures, and barrett's esophagus.
