Gastroscopy in Lviv

Gastroscopy, also known as esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), is a minimally invasive endoscopic method for examining the upper gastrointestinal tract. During the procedure, the doctor can assess the condition of the mucous membrane of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum in real time, identify pathological changes, and perform treatment if necessary. Gastroscopy in Lviv at the Horizons Clinic is performed using a high-resolution endoscope. This allows us to examine the mucosa in the smallest detail.

Service Description

During the examination, an endoscope — a flexible tube with a camera at the tip — is inserted through the patient’s mouth. The camera transmits images to a monitor in real time. Optical magnification and digital filters improve diagnostic accuracy.

Diagnostic Capabilities

Gastroscopy helps detect::
  • Erosive and ulcerative lesions of the mucosa — esophageal erosions, gastric ulcers, and duodenal ulcers;
  • Inflammatory conditions — gastritis, duodenitis, esophagitis;
  • Neoplasms — tumors and polyps of the upper gastrointestinal tract;
  • Structural changes in organ walls — narrowing or dilation;
  • Gastrointestinal bleeding and foreign bodies.

Therapeutic Capabilities of Gastroscopy

Gastroscopy allows a number of therapeutic interventions to be performed without open surgery:
  • Bleeding control — endoscopic coagulation, administration of hemostatic medications, and clip placement;
  • Removal of benign neoplasms — polypectomy and adenoma resection;
  • Removal of foreign bodies from the upper digestive tract.

Gastroscopy is also used to monitor the healing of the mucous membrane after treatment. During the procedure, pH monitoring may be performed to assess the acidity of gastric juice. pH monitoring helps evaluate treatment effectiveness and adjust the acid-base balance.
