Gastroenterology at Poliklinika Sente
A gastroenterohepatologist deals with diseases of the digestive organs: the oesophagus, stomach, small and large bowel, liver, gallbladder and pancreas.
Symptoms from these organs are common and varied, from heartburn and bloating to changes in bowel habits. Most are harmless, but some are a sign of a disease that should be found early, so persistent symptoms should not be self-treated.
At Poliklinika Sente the gastroenterology examination is complemented by abdominal ultrasound, and gastroscopy and colonoscopy are done on site, under local or general anaesthesia.
Colonoscopy also has a preventive role: polyps are found and removed during the same examination, while they are still harmless.

Examinations and diagnostics
Examinations carried out at Poliklinika Sente, with a description of what they involve and how to prepare.
Gastroscopy
Gastroscopy is an endoscopic examination of the oesophagus, stomach and duodenum with a flexible instrument fitted with a camera. It is brief and gives a direct view of the lining of the upper digestive tract.
What it involves and how to prepare →Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy is an examination of the entire large bowel with a flexible instrument fitted with a camera. It is the gold standard in diagnosing diseases of the large bowel, because polyps can be removed during the same examination.
What it involves and how to prepare →Ultrasound examination
Ultrasound shows organs and tissues in real time, without radiation and without pain. It is completely safe, so the examination can be repeated as often as necessary.

Are gastroscopy and colonoscopy painful?
