What is Upper GI Endoscopy?<\/h2>\n

Upper GI Endoscopy (UGI) is the investigation that explores the esophagus, the stomach and the first section of the small intestine (duodenum), using a flexible tube called endoscope, in order to diagnose the possible disorders at the level of these organs.<\/p>\n

\n

A major advantage of having the Upper GI Endoscopy performed in LaurusMedical’s Cklinics in Bucharest<\/a>, LaurusMedical Bacau<\/a>, LaurusMedical Deva<\/a>, LaurusMedical Galati<\/a>, LaurusMedical Focsani<\/a>, LaurusMedical Pitesti<\/a>, LaurusMedical Ploiesti<\/a> or LaurusMedical Suceava<\/a> is that the investigation may be carried out on the family physician\u2019s referral only, WITH NO COPAYMENT<\/b>, based on the agreements that LaurusMedical has signed with the Health Insurance Funds.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Endoscopic Treatments and Sedation<\/h2>\n

Certain therapeutical manoeuvres may be carried out during the intervention, such as: biopsy sampling, polyp resection, Helicobacter Pylori<\/a> testing.<\/p>\n

Just as in the case of colonoscopy<\/a>, analgesics or sedatives may be administered in order to increase the patient\u2019s comfort during the investigation, which will take about 5-7 minutes. In case sedatives are administered, driving is forbidden for 6 hours post-treatment.<\/p>\n

\n

Preparation for UGI<\/h2>\n

The pre-endoscopy preparation is simpler than in the case of colonoscopy, the ingestion of food is disallowed 7 hours prior to the investigation<\/strong>, and the ingestion of liquids is disallowed 2 hours prior to the investigation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
