Endoscopy

Endoscopy is a procedure that allows your surgeon to examine the inside lining of the oesophagus, stomach, duodenum, small intestine and large intestine.

Gastroscopy

While under sedation, a telescopic camera is passed through the mouth to visualize the upper GI tract. This allows your surgeon to diagnose various problems including:

• Heartburn / reflux
• Bleeding
• Stomach ulcers
• Duodenal ulcers
• Nausea
• Abdominal pain
• Difficulty in swallowing
• Painful swallowing
• Tumours

The procedure is done as a day case and usually takes between 5 to 15 minutes.
