Endoscopy

At the Oxford Medical clinic, endoscopic examinations are performed using modern NBI (Narrow Band Imaging) technology - narrow-spectrum imaging, which significantly improves the quality of diagnostics.

The NBI method allows for a detailed assessment of the condition of the mucous membrane and vascular pattern, which is especially important for the early detection of oncological and precancerous changes. Thanks to special illumination using a narrow spectrum of light waves, the doctor can see even the smallest changes that remain unnoticed during a standard examination.

Advantages of endoscopy with NBI:

• early diagnosis of tumors and precancerous changes;
• high detail of the structure of the mucous membrane;
• improved detection of small polyps, erosions, dysplasia;
• safety and no additional burden on the body.

Endoscopy with NBI is an important tool for the timely detection of dangerous changes in the gastrointestinal tract and helps the doctor prescribe effective treatment.

A gastroscopy is the examination of organs of gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach, duodenum) by the gastroscope. The gastroscopy allows examining the condition of upper sections of the human digestive system.

The indications for gastroscopy are:

• gastritis;
• duodenitis (inflammation of the duodenum);
• esophagitis (inflammation of esophageal mucosa);
• ulcer of the stomach or duodenum;
• suspicion of the tumor or bleeding of said organs.

In addition, the gastroscope allows getting a biopsy, removing small polyps, performing other medical manipulations.

On the average, the procedure of gastroscopy takes not more than two-three minutes. If necessary, the gastroscopy record can be viewed by the doctor at any moment. There are no complications after the gastroscopy, performed by the qualified and experienced doctors.

The gastroscopy is the most reliable method of obtaining precise and comprehensive data on the condition of the esophagus, stomach or duodenum.

The colonoscopy is the effective method, allowing obtaining the comprehensive information on the condition of the large intestine very fast. The use of colonoscope (flexible guided probe with camera) allows determining the intestinal diseases quickly and precisely at the earliest stages of development, when they do not manifest themselves with clear symptoms.

The colonoscopy is required in case of:

• lengthy constipations;
• intestinal obstruction;
• intestinal bleeding;
• suspicion of nonspecific ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease or tumor.

On the whole, the doctors recommend undergoing the colonoscopy for each patient with intestinal problems. After 40, due to the higher risk of appearance of colorectal cancer, the colonoscopy is recommended as the annual preventive examination; fortunately, the cost of procedure makes it affordable for most patients.

Judge for yourself: 20 minutes of the examination replaces multiple tests and analyses, giving much more precise results!

The endoscopists of Oxford Medical Kyiv perform examinations, using the newest Olympus Exera II Video System. It is a digital high-class endoscope, allowing performing a precise and quick diagnosis of diseases of the large intestine. For one session, this endoscopy system allows not only performing a visual examination, but also getting a biopsy.

Many patients postpone endoscopic examinations due to fear of discomfort. At the Oxford Medical clinic, endoscopy can be performed while asleep (under sedation) – this is a modern approach that ensures complete painlessness and peace during the procedure.

Medical sleep is a state of light controlled sleep, which is achieved through the administration of special drugs. The patient does not feel any pain or discomfort, and after the procedure wakes up without any serious aftereffects.

The procedure is supervised by an anesthesiologist, who monitors the patient's condition at all stages. This method not only increases comfort, but also allows the doctor to conduct a detailed and unhindered examination, obtaining the most accurate results.

After endoscopy while asleep, the patient rests under the supervision of a doctor and can return to his usual life in a short time.

If you are concerned about discomfort during diagnostic procedures, choose endoscopy under sedation – safe, comfortable and stress-free. Sign up for an examination at a time convenient for you!

The cost of an endoscopic examination depends on the type of procedure, the use of sedation, and the need for additional manipulations (biopsy, polyp removal, etc.).

You can preliminarily familiarize yourself with the prices here. The doctor will provide you with more detailed information about the possibilities, program, and cost of the procedure during the initial consultation.
