Screening and diagnosis
Colonoscopy is the only method that both finds and immediately eliminates precancerous polyps: an adenoma removed today is cancer that will not happen in 7-10 years. Under sedation, inspection of 100% of the bowel without pain is achieved; Inflammatory diseases (UC, Crohn's), diverticula, sources of bleeding and anemia are also detected. Diet and macrogol according to the instructions ensure cleanliness of the intestines (Boston scale); If large polyps are detected, a polypectomy is planned (pages next to each other). Conclusion with photos and observation plan - right away.
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.
