Our colonoscopy tests

When is a colonoscopy recommended?

Changes in bowel habits: If you have been experiencing unexplained diarrhoea, constipation or a combination of the two for some time.

Visible or hidden bleeding: If you notice blood in your stools, or if a laboratory test has shown a positive result for blood in the stool.

Unclear abdominal symptoms: If you are concerned about recurring abdominal pain, cramps, chronic bloating or a palpable abdominal mass.

Anaemia and weight loss: If you develop iron-deficiency anaemia of unknown cause or experience sudden, drastic weight loss.

Suspected inflammatory bowel disease: If there is a possibility of Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis (inflammation of the large intestine).

Screening for people aged 45–50 and over: Once you have reached this age, screening is recommended even for patients with no symptoms, as a means of preventing bowel cancer.

Familial clustering (Genetics): If there is a family history of colorectal polyps or cancer.

Suspicious ultrasound or CT findings: If imaging tests have revealed an abnormality in a section of the large intestine.

Why choose colonoscopy with anaesthesia?

I. 

Complete freedom from pain 

Thanks to propofol sedation, which ensures a comfortable and deep sleep, you will feel nothing during the examination. There is no discomfort or tension; the procedure is completely stress-free.

II. 

Expert anaesthesia safety

Anaesthesia is administered by a specialist anaesthetist, who continuously monitors your vital signs using state-of-the-art monitors throughout the entire procedure, ensuring maximum safety and a rapid recovery without any after-effects.

III. 

Two examinations under a single anaesthetic

Taking advantage of the comfort of anaesthesia, it is possible to for the combined performance of gastroscopy and colonoscopy as well. This saves time and allows us to examine the entire digestive system in a single procedure and under a single anaesthetic.

Step-by-step investigation process

Preparation at home

An accurate diagnosis and a clear view depend on a clean bowel. Our doctors and specialist nurses will provide you with detailed information and ongoing support as you follow the steps for your special diet and effective laxative treatment at home.

Positioning and sedation

In the examination room, you will lie comfortably on your left side with your knees drawn up. The anaesthetist will administer a modern anaesthetic, and you will immediately fall into a deep, restful sleep. Our specialist nurses will pay close attention to your safety throughout the procedure.

High-tech examination

The gastroenterologist gently inserts the thin, flexible colonoscope into the entire large intestine. Our modern, high-definition HD video-endoscopy system provides crystal-clear images, whilst the use of carbon dioxide minimises post-procedure bloating.

Intervention and Awakening

If the doctor detects a suspicious lesion or polyp, they will immediately take a sample or remove the polyp via the canal – a completely painless procedure. The treatment is therefore carried out at the same time, after which you will come round safely in a comfortable recovery room.
