Coloscopy
Coloscopy is a medical examination in which the doctor inspects the entire large intestine (colon) and the last part of the small intestine (the ileum) using a colonoscope. This is a flexible, long instrument with a camera at the end that allows the doctor to take images of the inside of the bowel and detect any abnormalities.
What exactly does that mean?
Our strength is that you can consult a team of specialists during one appointment, as well as have a battery of medical examinations. Our team of specialists includes a cardiologist, internist gastroenterologist, vascular surgeon, urologist, nose-throat-ear specialist and gynaecologist. The screening is followed by a discussion with the specialist and, at the latest within a week, a complete medical report with the results and your personal recommendations (e.g. adjusting lifestyle, starting medication, referral to another specialist or for further examination, etc.).
Why a colonoscopy?
A coloscopy (or colonoscopy) is an internal visual examination with which the doctor views the entire colon and the last part of the small intestine. This is done with a colonoscope - a flexible instrument with a camera on the end - that carefully views the intestinal wall. The goal? Detection of abnormalities such as polyps, inflammation, bleeding or tumours. If necessary, minor procedures, such as removing polyps or taking a biopsy, can be performed immediately during the examination. Do you have long-term abdominal complaints, blood in the stool or an increased risk of bowel cancer? A colonoscopy offers clarity and helps detect problems early.
Do you have complaints or is it time for a general check-up?
