Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy

The Endoscopic Laboratory offers a comprehensive range of examinations of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract (gastroscopy, colonoscopy, rectoscopy, and polypectomy).

Endoscopic tests and procedures are performed in an inpatient setting with access to full surgical and diagnostic facilities and the Anesthesiology & Intensive Care Unit. This makes us unique among other healthcare facilities.

The Endoscopic Laboratory is equipped with advanced endoscopic equipment thanks to the financial support of the European Union. The equipment and the disinfection and sterilization procedures comply with the current standards to ensure the safety and quality of the examinations performed. Our medical staff has extensive experience and offers the most reliable diagnostics and treatment in a patient-friendly setting.
