Video Endoscopy and CLO Test (DDEWAN)

The Video Endoscopy and CLO Test (DDEWAN) is a diagnostic procedure that combines visual examination of the gastrointestinal tract using a flexible camera with a specialized test to detect Helicobacter pylori, a bacteria associated with stomach ulcers and gastritis. During the procedure, a thin tube is inserted through the mouth or rectum, allowing the physician to view the lining of the digestive system and obtain tissue samples if necessary for further analysis. This test helps in diagnosing various gastrointestinal conditions and guiding appropriate treatment options.
