Our dedicated endoscopy suite is where gastrointestinal procedures are carried out under appropriate sedation, in a controlled environment designed for both patient comfort and procedural safety. The facility supports everything from simple diagnostic evaluations to more involved therapeutic procedures, depending on what the gastroenterologist finds.
This procedure allows the doctor to directly examine the food pipe, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine using a thin, flexible camera passed through the mouth. It's commonly advised for persistent acidity, unexplained weight loss, difficulty swallowing, or suspected ulcers. Sedation is usually given, so most patients don't recall the procedure itself and experience only mild throat discomfort afterwards. It often gives answers that blood tests and scans alone cannot.
A colonoscopy examines the large intestine using a flexible camera, helping detect polyps, inflammation, bleeding sources, or early signs of colorectal cancer. It's advised for symptoms like blood in the stool, chronic changes in bowel habit, or as a screening test after a certain age, even without symptoms. The procedure is done under sedation and requires bowel preparation beforehand, which your doctor will explain clearly, since a clean bowel is essential for an accurate examination.
Our bronchoscopy suite allows direct examination of the airways and lungs using a thin camera passed through the nose or mouth, under local anaesthesia and sedation. This is used to investigate persistent cough, coughing up blood, abnormal findings on a chest scan, or to collect samples for diagnosis. The procedure typically takes around thirty minutes, and while there may be mild throat irritation afterwards, most patients recover quickly and can go home the same day.
Beyond straightforward diagnosis, several endoscopic procedures also allow treatment in the same sitting, such as removing a polyp or stopping active bleeding, avoiding the need for separate surgery in many cases. Which procedures apply depends entirely on individual findings during the examination, and your specialist will discuss options as they arise. This combined approach often means quicker resolution.
