EGD is an abbreviation for esophagogastroduodenoscopy, which is a diagnostic procedure that examines the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It’s also known as an upper endoscopy. During an EGD, a doctor uses a thin, flexible, lighted tube called an endoscope to view the inside of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.
