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.

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.
