 Upper GI-endoscopy is one of gastroenterology's most frequently performed diagnostic and interventional methods. Even though gastroscopy is believed to be a routine investigation - which is the greatest mistake of all - several pitfalls in performance can cause serious problems or misdiagnoses. Struggles in accurately describing and classifying abnormal findings can occur and concern the correct basic technique of endoscope introduction, and the correct way of investigating the mucosal surface in total, with several available imaging modalities such as virtual chromoendoscopy or magnification. Which classification systems should be used? The decision to perform additional workup needs to be made immediately during the ongoing endoscopy. Is it necessary to take biopsies, or should it even be avoided due to potential interference with a later endoscopic resection? This article answers the questions, highlights the most common mistakes with clinical relevance and expands on how to avoid them.
