Just[edit]

Just a note, in Canada, OGD and EGD are often used interchangeably, despite the overwhelming predominance of "esophagus" as the spelling of choice. Barry Zuckerkorn 19:06, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll upload my image of post-banding esophageal ulcers, as it's one of only a few I have that have been approved by patients and hospital for public domain. -- Samir (the scope) धर्म 10:20, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You have a good picture Sam but what would be great is different pictures of E, G, D? Barry Zuckerkorn 18:37, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I need to get patient signatures after endoscopy ok'ing release but I can get them. -- Samir (the scope) धर्म 09:12, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What does "gastroduodenoscopy" mean?[edit]

Is it the same thing as what's in this article (to which the term currently redirects) but with the esophagus specifically not examined? Equinox (talk) 16:13, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Citation 4[edit]

Citation 4, https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003888.htm, does not indicate the occurrence of complications. This should be removed, although the citation is a good one. The statistic should be cited using a different source. Perhaps one such as this one: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7639228? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.73.148.210 (talk) 17:58, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Missing text[edit]

Above the first bullet point, and below the first illustration in Section One here appears "disembodied" text from which the start of this sentence, bullet point or paragraph is missing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PeacefulPlanet3 (talk • contribs) 06:41, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
