Our gastroscopy examinations

When is gastroscopy recommended?

Persistent reflux symptoms: If you regularly have heartburn, experience acid reflux, or are troubled by a mysterious cough that will not go away.

Upper digestive tract pain: If you feel recurring pain, burning, cramps or tightness after eating in the stomach area.

Swallowing and digestive difficulties: If you have difficulty swallowing, feel a lump in your throat, or suffer from recurring nausea or unexplained vomiting.

Anaemia and weight loss: If you have developed iron-deficiency anaemia of unknown origin, or are experiencing sudden, drastic weight loss.

Strong suspicion of a stomach ulcer: If a gastric or duodenal ulcer is suspected, which requires immediate diagnosis and sampling.

Bleeding of unclear origin: If you vomit material that looks like coffee grounds, or your stool turns tar-black due to stomach bleeding.

Family history (genetics): If a close relative has had a malignant tumour of the stomach.

Digestive follow-up: If a previously diagnosed inflammation, polyp or ulcer needs a specialist check-up.

Why choose gastroscopy under anaesthesia?

I. 

Complete comfort

Thanks to deep sedation with an intravenous anaesthetic, you are completely relaxed throughout the procedure, with no pain and no choking gag reflex. You will not experience any discomfort.

II. 

Maximum diagnostic precision

Because the patient's body is completely relaxed, the specialist gastroenterologist can guide the instrument with maximum precision and without obstruction. This allows an extremely thorough, detailed view of the lining.

III. 

Two endoscopies under a single anaesthetic

Taking advantage of anaesthesia, it is also possible to have gastroscopy and colonoscopy performed together in one go. This saves you a great deal of time, and we can map your entire digestive tract with a single anaesthetic.

The test process step by step

Preparation at home

A completely empty stomach is essential for a successful and safe examination. You can still have a light dinner the evening before the examination, but from midnight eating, drinking, smoking and chewing gum are strictly forbidden.

Positioning and sedation

In the examination room, you lie comfortably on your left side with your legs bent and your head tilted slightly down. The specialist anaesthetist administers the modern anaesthetic, and you immediately fall into a deep sleep, while our nurses look after your safety throughout.

Endoscopic examination

The doctor gently passes the thin, flexible gastroscope through the oesophagus into the stomach and the duodenum. Our modern video endoscopy system gives a razor-sharp image of the lining, while separate channels allow air and water to be introduced.

Procedure and waking up

If the doctor sees a suspicious change or a polyp, a sample is taken or the polyp is removed immediately through the channel, completely painlessly. This way, treatment happens at the same time, and you then wake up safely in a pleasant recovery room.

Our gastroscopy examinations with or without anaesthesia

Gastroscopy

Gastroscopy allows the oesophagus, the stomach and the duodenum to be examined. In addition, tissue samples can be taken for histology, and our doctor can also carry out therapeutic procedures.

Gastroscopy under anaesthesia

Gastroscopy under anaesthesia is the gentler form of gastroscopy: the patient is under anaesthesia and does not experience the discomfort of the procedure.

Gastroscopy and colonoscopy

For gastroscopy and colonoscopy, the two examinations are performed at the same time – more precisely, one straight after the other.

Gastroscopy and colonoscopy under anaesthesia

In gastroscopy and colonoscopy under anaesthesia, the two examinations are performed at the same time – more precisely, one straight after the other – under anaesthesia.
