Summary

The provider examines the entire upper digestive tract except for the ileum, the most distal portion of the small intestine. He destroys any tumors, polyps, or other lesions that he finds using laser or radiofrequency energy rather than other forms of ablation. The lesions are most likely benign but could be precancerous or obstructing the small intestine.
