Upper Endoscopy (Gastroscopy)

Information Prices Specialists

The necessity of performing an endoscopy is determined by the doctor.
Upper endoscopy is the only method for examining and treating digestive organs that allows internal inspection of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. If necessary, various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures can be performed inside these organs during the examination.
Upper endoscopy, when performed by an experienced and skilled doctor using modern instruments, is a safe and harmless procedure for the patient.
Upper endoscopy is the most accurate method for early diagnosis and treatment of inflammations, ulcers, and tumors of the digestive system.
During an upper endoscopy, the doctor inserts a high-quality optical instrument through the patient’s mouth into the digestive system to closely examine and assess the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum from the inside.
With the latest generation endoscopes, it is possible to record the entire endoscopic view on video and electronically store or transmit it using any modern image processing technology.
To improve the quality of the endoscopy and prevent discomfort, the doctor uses special medications during the procedure, which are usually sprayed into the patient’s throat and/or injected intravenously. Some medications may cause drowsiness and reduce reaction time for several hours. Patients are informed about the administration of these medications before the endoscopy, and it is important to remember to avoid driving any vehicles for at least 12 hours after the procedure.
During the endoscopy, without any special prior preparation from the patient, the doctor can perform various other procedures, such as polyp removal or extraction of foreign objects (swallowed buttons or coins).
A typical diagnostic upper endoscopy lasts 10–20 minutes. The total time spent at the medical facility is approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
