Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Will gastrointestinal endoscopy cause gastrointestinal damage?

1. Gastroenteroscopy is a relatively safe examination and will not cause damage in most cases.
2. Because the gastroscope passes through the pharynx during gastroscopy, gas needs to be injected into the stomach for detailed observation. Some patients may experience mild abdominal pain, pharyngeal pain, and pharyngeal discomfort after surgery, which may disappear on their own.
3. A very small number of patients may have complications from bleeding, infection or perforation. Elderly people with underlying diseases may suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents, but the chances of the above complications are extremely low. Specialists and anesthesiologists will explain the probability of the above situations occurring and the follow-up measures. On the day of the examination, specialists will perform gentle operations and anesthesiologists and nurses will monitor the entire process.

Q2: If polyps are found during gastrointestinal endoscopy, will the doctor deal with it directly for me?
For your better experience, if polyps are found during the examination, our doctors will usually remove them directly for you, but the resulting treatment and consumables will need to be billed separately.

Q3: What are the common ways to remove polyps?
If the polyps are relatively small, polyps within 0.5cm can be removed using biopsy. If the polyps are larger than 0.5cm, colonoscopy with a snare is required to remove the polyps. The specific operation and examination process will be determined by the doctor depending on the situation. To make the resection as clean as possible and taking into account safety factors, it is necessary to use a needle for submucosal injection and then perform snare resection. Titanium clips are often placed on the wound surface after resection to promote wound healing and prevent complications such as bleeding and perforation. This This method of polypectomy is also called EMR (endoscopic mucosal resection).
