Prior to the procedure, your \npharynx will be numbed with a local anaesthetic. In order to protect the\n endoscope against biting, we will insert a mouthpiece in your mouth. \nWhile you are lying on your left side, the doctor will introduce the \nendoscope. To better see the examined tissue, air will be blown through \nthe endoscope tube, which may cause a sensation of abdominal fullness. \nYou can breathe normally throughout the procedure, and you will not feel\n pain, but irritable feeling in your pharynx and retching may occur. The\n procedure usually takes 5-10 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Biopsy<\/strong>: Using tiny biopsy forceps we take a tissue \nsample for further testing, or remove a tiny polyp. The tissue sample is\n then examined under a microscope (histology) to determine the precise \nnature of the abnormalities. The procedure is painless, there are \nvirtually no complications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Polypectomy<\/strong>: it is the removal of a polyp. It is \ndone by introducing a snare through the endoscope tube, tightening the \nsnare around the polyp and cutting it off by passing electric current \nthrough the snare loop to cut through the polyp completely. The removed \npolyp is retrieved for histological examination. The procedure is \npainless. It is performed only by prior arrangement, which ensures that a\n patient can stay at the Centre for a one-day observation. Other \nendoscopic procedures include: haemostasis of ulcers or ruptured blood \nvessels, vasodilation, removal of foreign bodies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Prior to the procedure, your pharynx will be numbed with a local anaesthetic.
