Which three structures are viewed during an egd?

More than three...: An esophagogastroduodenoscopy uses a flexible endoscope to visualize the patient's esophagus, stomach and duodenum. A great deal of information can be obtained during this 20 minute procedure, and biopsies can be performed as necessary.
