Gastroscopy procedure Katowice

Gastroscopy, also known as panendoscopy, is an examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract. It’s an endoscopic procedure performed by inserting a flexible tube with an optical scope and a cold light source through the throat and into the stomach, without the need for surgical incisions. This examination allows the doctor to perform a very detailed examination and assessment of this section of the gastrointestinal tract. During the examination, the presence of Helicobacter pylori can be diagnosed, a sample of the mucosa can be collected for further examination, and even bleeding ulcers can be treated, polyps removed, and early cancers treated. This is one of the best tests for diagnosing and treating diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract.

Test

Listening carefully and following instructions, along with a positive attitude towards the examination, is essential to ensure the examination is completed quickly and as comfortably as possible for the patient.

During the examination, the most unpleasant moment is usually swallowing the device. To reduce the gag reflex, lidocaine spray, which acts as a local anesthetic on the mucous membrane, is usually used. Sedatives can also be administered or the examination can be performed under general anesthesia. Anesthesia qualification is required for anesthesia. The examination itself is usually not painful, but some discomfort related to the movement of the device may be experienced. Gagging and belching may occur during the examination. Temporary hoarseness, sore throat, or abdominal pain may occur after the examination.

After the examination, depending on the anesthesia used, the patient may return to normal activities or remain under the care of the medical staff. You will receive the results of the examination after the examination. You will be informed of all instructions at the registration desk on the day of your appointment.
