Endoscopy Services
What is Endoscopy?
Endoscopy involves the insertion of a flexible tube equipped with a miniature camera (endoscope) into the patient's body to perform examination, diagnosis, and treatment. Physicians review high-definition images to closely inspect internal organs for abnormal tissues, allergies, ulcers, or inflammation, enabling more accurate diagnosis and the most effective therapeutic interventions.
One-stop Endoscopy Service
The Medicare Endoscopy Centre is a licensed Day Procedure Centre recognised by the Department of Health, led by experienced specialist doctors and equipped with advanced endoscopy technology. Patients can undergo various endoscopic procedures without the need for open surgery. Following the procedure, patients can rest in a dedicated recovery area and return home within a few hours — no overnight hospital stay required.
Endoscopy Procedures
The centre offers colonoscopy, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (gastroscopy), and cystoscopy. These procedures can diagnose colorectal cancer, colorectal polyps, gastric cancer, gastric ulcers, bladder cancer, and other conditions.
Advanced Equipment and Instruments
The centre is equipped with the Olympus CV1500 endoscopy system, which helps doctors detect hidden polyps more effectively, enabling more precise and efficient procedures with enhanced patient safety.
-
Advanced High-Resolution Electronic Endoscopy System
Supports Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) for the detection of early-stage gastrointestinal cancers.
-
Endoscopy System
Delivers higher image quality, supporting more accurate diagnosis and effective treatment when used with advanced endoscopes.
-
EndoCapture System
Allows doctors to capture high-definition clinical images during the procedure using control buttons on the endoscope, aiding patient assessment and report preparation.
Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy uses a flexible endoscope inserted through the anus into the rectum. The tip of the scope is equipped with a light source and miniature camera, allowing thorough examination of the colon from the sigmoid colon through to the caecum. If abnormal cells, ulcers, or polyps are found, the doctor can immediately perform a biopsy, stop bleeding, or remove polyps.
Gastroscopy
Gastroscopy involves inserting a soft, flexible tube (approximately 0.5–1 cm in diameter, similar to a little finger) through the mouth to examine the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum. When needed, the doctor can use the endoscope to obtain tissue samples for biopsy, remove polyps, stop bleeding, or treat the affected area.
