What endoscopic services do we offer?
Gastroscopy (Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, EGD)
- A detailed examination of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Detects gastritis, erosions, ulcers, polyps, tumors, bleeding sources, and other abnormalities.
Colonoscopy
- A thorough evaluation of the large intestine. Helps diagnose inflammation, tumors, diverticulosis, polyps, and early signs of colorectal cancer.
Esophagoscopy
- Targeted examination of the esophagus to identify reflux, strictures, inflammation, or mucosal damage.
Biopsy during endoscopy
- Collection of tissue samples for histological analysis. Used to confirm or rule out cancer, Helicobacter pylori infection, autoimmune diseases, and more.
Urease test
- A rapid test to detect Helicobacter pylori — the main bacterial cause of gastritis and peptic ulcers.
Endoscopy under sedation (medicated sleep)
- For patients with heightened sensitivity or anxiety, we offer procedures under sedation — ensuring a painless and stress-free experience.
