What you should know about Colonoscopy & Gastroscopy

What is Gastroscopy?

A gastroscope is a thin flexible tube that our doctor uses to investigate the food pipe, stomach and upper part of the small intestine. With a tiny camera at the tip of the scope, a gastroscope can visualise the inside lining of these body parts and identify problems such as, ulcers, inflammation or abnormal growth. The scope also allows our doctor the ability to take biopsies and remove polyps.

 

Most patients are sedated (light sleep) during the procedure so they feel minimal discomfort.
