Fibroscopy services at Elytis Hospital: advanced technology for accurate diagnosis
Fibroscopy: an essential technique for diagnosing and treating conditions
Fibroscopy refers to the endoscopic technique used to examine various internal structures of the body, including the stomach, colon, small intestine, bronchi, bladder, oropharynx, bile ducts and blood vessels. The procedure is performed using a fiberscope, a thin, flexible instrument that allows doctors to directly visualize the areas of interest.
The fiberscope technology used at Elytis Hospital
At Elytis Hospital, we use the state-of-the-art fiberscope!
This technology allows detailed visualization of anatomical structures and facilitates invasive procedures under direct visual control. The fiberscope can depict 360 degrees, providing a complete image of the area being examined. It is also possible to install an ultrasound probe at the end of the fiberscope (echoendoscopy), used for fine studies of digestive tumors or analysis of structures neighboring the stomach, such as the pancreas and bile ducts.
How fibroscopy is performed at Elytis Hospital
The fibroscopy procedure is performed in conditions of maximum safety and comfort for the patient:
- Local anesthesia: most fibroscopies are performed under local anesthesia, eliminating the need for hospitalization
- Short duration: the procedure lasts just a few minutes, allowing the patient to quickly return to daily activities
- Minimal risk: complications are rare and risks such as perforation or bleeding are exceptional.In cases requiring general anesthesia, the patient will be observed for 24 hours after the procedure
