Endoscopic Diagnosis
The Endoscopic Diagnostic Service performs endoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract, abdominal cavity, respiratory system, and thoracic organs, as well as lymph nodes located in the abdominal or thoracic cavities. Both emergency and planned endoscopic surgeries are carried out.
During examinations, it is possible to simultaneously perform biopsy, chromoendoscopy, and tests for the presence of Helicobacter pylori. Tissue immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical studies are also carried out, which are considered the most informative and accurate methods for diagnosing benign and malignant formations.
With the help of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), ultrasound examination can be performed on internal organs that are inaccessible with conventional ultrasound. EUS makes it possible to detect diseases at an early stage. Unlike CT, this method allows visualization of organ cavities in different planes, tracing the course of ducts, and performing targeted biopsies from specific tissue areas under direct ultrasound guidance.
Diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy includes:
- Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)
- Colonoscopy
- Bronchoscopy
- Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

Frequently Asked Questions
An endoscopic examination usually takes about 5–15 minutes. The overall visit may take longer due to preparation, medical consultation, and brief observation after the procedure. If additional procedures are performed during the examination, such as tissue sampling, the duration may be longer.
The cost of an endoscopy depends on the type and extent of the examination and whether additional procedures are required. If a biopsy or another intervention is planned during the examination, the price may differ.
Endoscopy may be performed with local anesthesia and, in some cases, under sedation or anesthesia, depending on the medical indications and the specifics of the procedure. The approach is determined individually based on the patient’s condition, symptoms, coexisting diseases, and the extent of the planned intervention.
Yes, a biopsy can be performed during endoscopy when indicated. This involves taking a small tissue sample from the lining of the digestive tract for subsequent histological examination. A biopsy is performed when a more precise assessment of the nature of the detected changes is needed.
