If there is a suspicion of the appearance or exacerbation of the upper digestive system diseases, fibrogastroscopy (FGS), a diagnostic procedure that is carried out using an endoscope may be required. During the examination, a fiber optic tube with a lens at the end and channels for subsidiary instruments is inserted into the cavity of the digestive tract. On the monitor of the endoscope, the doctor performing FGS sees the condition of the mucous membranes of the esophagus and stomach, can conduct a visual assessment of the tissues of these organs, and if necessary, perform a biopsy sample for histological examinations.
The accuracy of the fibrogastroscopy results in Kharkov and the patient's feeling during the procedure are largely determined by the quality indicators of the equipment used and the qualifications of the specialist who conducts the examination. At OK Center, fibrogastroscopy procedures are performed by doctors with many years of experience in diagnostics and treatment practice using the most modern equipment.

Contraindications for gastroscopy in Kharkov are hypertensive crisis, bleeding disorders, a stroke or heart attack, bronchial asthma and a number of other pathological conditions, the course of which should be reported to the attending physician before the appointment of the procedure. This will facilitate the adoption of a reasonable decision and the search for optimal diagnostics tactics.
The procedure is preceded by a preparation period in which the patient is recommended to review the diet 2-3 days before the examination (exclude difficult to digest foods from the menu), completely refuse to eat 6-8 hours before FGS.
Immediately before fibrogastroscopy, the patient's oral cavity is treated with an aerosol anesthetic to reduce the vomiting reflex and eliminate pain. A mouthpiece is placed between the teeth, after which the endoscope is carefully inserted into the oral cavity and moved along the digestive tract. The examination is carried out between 1.5 and 10 minutes after which the diagnosis is confirmed and treatment tactics are discussed.
