Endoscopy

At Intus Specialist Health Care, we provide trusted endoscopy services across Christchurch, Dunedin, Queenstown and Wānaka, supporting patients with timely access to expert-led care closer to home. Our specialist team provides colonoscopy and gastroscopy services focused on accurate diagnosis, early detection and a clear path forward.

Endoscopy is a type of procedure, such as colonoscopy and gastroscopy, that allow our Intus specialists to examine the digestive tract using a thin, flexible camera. These investigations help identify the cause of symptoms, detect conditions early, and guide the most appropriate treatment plan.

Colonoscopy at Intus

A colonoscopy examines the large intestine (colon) and is commonly used to investigate symptoms such as changes in bowel habits, bleeding, or ongoing abdominal discomfort. It also plays an important role in bowel cancer screening and early detection.

This procedure allows specialists to both identify and, in some cases, treat issues during the same examination.

Gastroscopy at Intus

A gastroscopy examines the upper digestive tract, including the oesophagus, stomach and the first part of the small intestine. It is often recommended for symptoms such as reflux, difficulty swallowing, nausea, or unexplained upper abdominal pain.

This investigation provides a clear view of the upper digestive system to help diagnose and guide treatment
