Bronchoesophagoscopy

/ˌbrɒŋkoʊˌɛsɒfəˈɡɒskəpi/ noun

A medical procedure where a doctor uses a flexible camera tube to look inside both the lungs (bronchi) and the esophagus to diagnose problems.

From broncho- (bronchi/lungs) + esophago- (esophagus) + scopy (from Greek 'skopein' meaning to look). This combines two organ systems with the viewing suffix.
