Endoscopy Services
What is an 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 senior specialist physicians and equipped with state-of-the-art technology. Patients can undergo various endoscopic procedures for diagnosis and treatment without the need for open surgery. Following the procedure, patients can rest in a dedicated recovery area and return home within a few hours, without requiring overnight hospital stay.
Endoscopy Examination items
The centre offers the following endoscopic examinations: Colonoscopy (Large Intestine Endoscopy), Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (Gastroscopy), and Cystoscopy. These procedures can diagnose conditions such as colorectal cancer, colorectal polyps, gastric cancer, gastric ulcers, gastric polyps, bladder cancer, and related diseases.
Advanced Equipment and Instruments
The centre utilises the latest Olympus CV1500 endoscopy system, which more effectively assists physicians in detecting hidden polyps, enabling more precise and efficient procedures while providing clients with the safest possible examination experience.
-
Advanced High-Resolution Electronic Endoscopy System
Capable of simultaneous Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) endoscopy to aid in the diagnosis of early gastrointestinal cancers.
-
Endoscopy System
Delivers superior image quality; when combined with advanced endoscopes, it supports more accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
-
EndoCapture System
Allows physicians to capture high-definition clinical images during the procedure using control buttons on the endoscope, facilitating patient condition analysis and report preparation.
Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy utilises a flexible endoscope inserted through the anus into the rectum. The distal end of the scope is equipped with a light source and miniature camera, allowing thorough examination of the colon from the sigmoid colon, descending colon, transverse colon, ascending colon, to the caecum. If abnormal cells, ulcers, or polyps are identified, the physician can immediately perform biopsy for histopathological analysis, haemostasis, or polypectomy.
Gastroscopy
Gastroscopy involves the insertion of a soft, flexible tube (approximately 0.5–1 cm in diameter, similar to the size of a little finger) through the mouth to examine the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum (upper gastrointestinal tract). When indicated, the physician can use endoscopic instruments to obtain tissue samples for biopsy, remove polyps, achieve haemostasis, or deliver targeted therapy at the site of pathology.
Cystoscopy
Cystoscopy employs a thin, flexible tubular instrument to examine the bladder. It is used to diagnose lesions in the bladder, male prostate, and urethra. Clinically, cystoscopy enables urethral dilatation, removal of bladder blood clots, biopsy of bladder or urethral lesions, and assistance with insertion or removal of ureteral stents.
