Viewing the esophagus, stomach and duodenum, with aspiration and biopsy if needed. In the OR it is used for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG): the scope insufflates the stomach and transilluminates the abdominal wall to pick the tube site, and a snare passed through it grabs the guide suture. It may also be requested during gastric surgery such as gastrojejunostomy.
