In gastroscopy, the upper part of the digestive tract (oesophagus, stomach and duodenum) is examined using a thin, flexible tube system (gastroscope). If changes in the mucous membrane, such as inflammation, are found, tissue samples (biopsies) are routinely taken without pain.

After the examination, a detailed discussion of the (preliminary) result takes place and you will receive a written report with a photo and a (preliminary) therapy recommendation.

All tissue samples must be histopathologically analysed (assessment of changes in the mucous membrane, clarification of a possible bacterial infection with Helicobacter pylori, etc.). This evaluation takes an average of 4 - 5 days.

You will receive the histopathological findings, including an explanation and any other therapeutic measures that may be required, by e-mail, post or during a personal appointment in the office.

All findings are usually forwarded to your referring family doctor.

Мягкая гастроскопия

Чтобы сделать исследование максимально приятным, есть возможность получить успокоительное/снотворное средство (Дормикум®/Пропофол) (седоанальгезия). При этом гастроскопия проходит, как правило, безболезненно и едва ощущается.

Пожалуйста, обратите внимание, что после введения этого успокоительного/снотворного средства Вам на 24 часа нельзя активно принимать участие в дорожном движении!
