Expert Care for Your Digestive Health
We provide:
At Geelong Day Surgery, we offer two primary types of endoscopy procedures: colonoscopy and gastroscopy.
Our colonoscopy services are essential for detecting and preventing colorectal cancer, identifying polyps, and diagnosing conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease.
Gastroscopy services allow us to examine the upper digestive tract, diagnosing and treating issues like ulcers, reflux, and other gastrointestinal disorders.
Both procedures are performed by our experienced specialists using the latest technology, ensuring accurate diagnoses and effective treatments while prioritising patient comfort and safety.
Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy is a procedure used to examine the large intestine (colon) and rectum. It is commonly performed to screen for colorectal cancer, investigate symptoms such as abdominal pain or rectal bleeding, and diagnose conditions like inflammatory bowel disease.
Gastroscopy
A gastroscopy, also known as an upper endoscopy, is used to examine the upper part of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. It is often performed to investigate symptoms such as heartburn, nausea, vomiting, or difficulty swallowing.
Combined Colonoscopy & Gastroscopy
In some cases, both a colonoscopy and gastroscopy may be performed during the same appointment to provide a comprehensive examination of the entire digestive tract. This approach can save time and reduce the need for multiple procedures.
