Our gastroscopy tests

When is a gastroscopy recommended?

Persistent symptoms of reflux: If you regularly suffer from heartburn, acid reflux or a persistent, unexplained cough.

Upper gastrointestinal tract pain: If you experience recurring pain, a burning sensation, cramps or a feeling of fullness in the stomach area after eating.

Difficulties with swallowing and digestion: If you find it difficult to swallow, have a lump in your throat, or are suffering from recurring nausea or unexplained vomiting.

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

Strong suspicion of a stomach ulcer: If there is a possibility of a gastric or duodenal ulcer, this requires immediate diagnosis and a biopsy.

Bleeding of unknown cause: If you experience coffee-ground-like vomit, or if your stools turn pitch black due to gastric bleeding.

Familial clustering (Genetics): If a malignant tumour has occurred in the stomach in any of your immediate family members.

Digestive system check-up: If you have been previously diagnosed with inflammation, a polyp or an ulcer, you should be monitored by a specialist.

Why choose gastroscopy under general anaesthetic?

I. 

Complete comfort

Under deep anaesthesia with propofol, you will sleep through the procedure in a completely relaxed state, without any pain or the urge to gag. You will not experience any discomfort whatsoever.

II. 

Maximum diagnostic accuracy

As the patient’s body is completely relaxed, the gastroenterologist can manoeuvre the instrument with the utmost precision and without any hindrance. This allows for an extremely thorough and detailed examination of the mucosa.

III. 

Two reflections during a single sleep cycle

By taking advantage of the benefits of anaesthesia, it is possible to for the combined performance of gastroscopy and colonoscopy as well. This saves a great deal of time, and allows us to examine the entire digestive system under a single anaesthetic.

Step-by-step investigation process

Preparing at home

An entirely empty stomach is essential for a successful and safe examination. You may have a light dinner the evening before the examination, but from midnight onwards, eating, drinking, smoking and chewing gum are strictly prohibited.

Positioning and sedation

In the examination room, you will lie comfortably on your left side, with your legs bent and your head tilted slightly downwards. The anaesthetist will administer a modern anaesthetic, and you will immediately fall into a deep sleep, whilst our specialist nurses monitor your safety throughout the procedure.

Endoscopic examination

The doctor gently guides the thin, flexible gastroscope through the oesophagus into the stomach and duodenum. Our modern video-endoscopy system provides a crystal-clear image of the mucous membrane, whilst separate channels ensure the supply of air and water.

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.

A gentler version of gastroscopy is gastroscopy under anaesthesia, where the patient under anaesthesia does not experience the discomfort of the examination.
