Overview

Endoscopy is a procedure used to evaluate the digestive tract. It involves inserting a tiny camera into the body to visualise the digestive organs. A camera is mounted at the end of a flexible tube, which is inserted through the mouth into the stomach or through the anus into the colon.  

An endoscopy is used to investigate problems such as abdominal pain, diarrhoea, constipation or blood in the stools. It can also screen an individual for colon cancer, esophageal cancer and stomach cancer.  

At Nobel Gastroenterology Centre, we perform endoscopy using high-definition cameras that can highlight even subtle abnormalities. This increases our ability to make an accurate diagnosis. We perform the following procedures:

  1. Gastroscopy (stomach) 
  2. Colonoscopy (large intestine) 
  3. Capsule endoscopy (small intestine) 
  4. Enteroscopy (small intestine) 
  5. ERCP (bile duct stones and cancer) 
  6. Endoscopic ultrasound (other organs, e.g. pancreas) 

If you are interested in an endoscopy or a cancer screening procedure, contact us for an appointment. Individuals with a family history of cancer or polyps, may benefit from a screening endoscopy.
