EGDS is comfortable and high quality
Sedation turns the “scary tube swallowing” into a short sleep: the endoscopist calmly examines each section, stains and enlarges suspicious areas, takes a targeted biopsy (standard for ulcers and lesions), and performs a quick urease test for Helicobacter. Esophagitis and Barrett's esophagus are detected, ulcers, atrophy and metaplasia (risk status of the stomach), polyps - small ones are removed immediately. The conclusion with photographs is ready for the gastroenterologist’s appointment; if necessary, he is in the same clinic.
Indications
- heartburn, pain, nausea, anemia, weight loss - endoscopy with biopsy and helix test;
- blood in the stool, changes in stool, anemia, age 45+ - screening colonoscopy;
- heredity for gastrointestinal cancer, observation after polyps;
- polyps of the stomach and colon - immediate removal with histology.
Endoscopy “in a dream”
Sedation makes the examination comfortable: the patient falls asleep for 15–40 minutes and wakes up with the finished result - without vomiting or pain; Meanwhile, the doctor examines the mucous membrane without haste, which increases the detection of early changes. High-resolution devices with a narrow-spectrum mode allow you to see the vascular pattern and the boundaries of the lesions; biopsy and polyp removal are performed immediately. Colonoscopy with bowel cancer screening is recommended for everyone over 45 years of age; quality bowel preparation is half the success.
