Endoscopy

Our Centre provides a full range of endoscopy services in both outpatient and inpatient settings. Patients undergoing endoscopy procedures will be intensively monitored by our doctors and staff. Sedation, Monitored Anaestheisa Care or even General Anaesthesia can be arranged with our experienced anaesthesiologists to minimise any discomfort and risks during the procedure. 

What is Endoscopy? 
Endoscopy is a safe and well-tolerated procedure to look inside an organ. It involves putting a patient under local anaesthesia, sedation or monitored anaesthesia, and using an instrument called an endoscope – a long and flexible tube with a tiny video camera and light source at the end. The endoscope is passed through a natural orifice of the body (such as the nose, mouth or anus) to reach the organ to be examined. Through the endoscope’s connection to a TV monitor, the doctor can see the GI tract clearly and take tissue samples for biopsies, or perform therapeutic procedures at the same time, with great precision.
