The endoscopy suites at Intus provides diagnostic procedures to investigate any part of the digestive tract.

What is endoscopy?

Endoscopy is an internal examination using a flexible tube with a tiny video camera on the end.

Endoscopy is a relatively simple, non-invasive way to look inside the digestive tract to gather valuable diagnostic information. Tissue samples (biopsies) may be obtained, areas of blockage opened, and any active bleeding stopped. Further, pre-cancerous polyps can be removed during the procedure to reduce the risk of developing bowel cancer.

Procedures available at Intus include the following:

• Colonoscopy

• Gastroscopy

• Flexible sigmoidoscopy

• PillCam (capsule endoscopy)
