Endoscopy

Using endoscopy as an investigative diagnostic tool is indispensable in the world of gastroenterology. The endoscope allows doctors to individuate and classify benign pathologies as well as to prevent, look after, and cure malignant ones. The importance of these exams, at times decisive for our well-being, are meant to help patients overcome any reservations they may have.

Every type of endoscopic exam, diagnostic measurement, and therapeutic dealing with the gastroentological field can be done in the Digestive Endoscopy department at the Abano Terme General Hospital, including even the most advanced techniques.
All of the procedures are done with the utmost comfort in mind for the patient. The staff in the endoscopy room are highly skilled, with anaesthesiologists there to administer and monitor sedatives. Vital parameters are constantly under control to guarantee an extraordinarily accurate exam while maximizing patient safety.

Each patient has a dedicated recovery area which provides the best preparation possible before the endoscopic exam and a comfortable atmosphere to wake up in when the sedation wears off. Here, the patient will once again meet highly skilled staff monitoring their vitals and nurse assistance when needed. There is also the possibility to request private rooms in specific cases.

The staff boasts years of experience in gastrointestinal endoscopy and dedicates a lot of time every year to keeping up with the latest techniques through training programs and seminars. The Endoscopy Department has two rooms endowed with the most avantgarde technological instruments, an area reserved for abdominal ultrasounds, and a room dedicated to radiological inquiries in endoscopy. Moreover, the endoscopes themselves are of the latest generation on the market.
