Endoscopy is through the mouth. That would be a colonoscopy.

Oh man... Good thing I'm not a doctor.

Well a colonoscope is actually an endoscope, just one meant for colonoscopies. Endoscope is just a generic term for the tool. (endo- = inside/within, -scope = tool for viewing)

And gastroscope is the type specifically for the esophagus and stomach.

The endoscopy scope and the colonoscopy scope are the same scope.

How do you tell the difference between an oral endoscope and a rectal scope? The taste.

You never go ass to mouth!

If you can go from ass to mouth then your scope is too big.

That's correct! I recognise the lasso that as the thing used to sample polyps in the colon (and probably a bunch of other uses, totally including snagging chippie packets).
