A member asked:
What kind of complications should i expect during and after my endoscopic procedure?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
None: The most common complications after endoscopy are bleeding, perforation, and breathing issues such as from aspiration. A small number of patients will have a sore throat from an upper endoscopy.
