At our office in Vienna, we perform this examination using modern technology and extensive experience to ensure a safe and as comfortable diagnosis as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the procedure, a thin, flexible plastic tube (gastroscope), approximately 5 mm in diameter and equipped with a light and camera, is carefully inserted through the throat. The high-resolution images are displayed in real time on a monitor, allowing precise detection and assessment of any changes in the mucosal lining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This method enables a reliable and informative diagnosis, both for clarifying symptoms and for preventive screening and early detection of diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gastroscopy is usually performed on an outpatient basis. To ensure optimal conditions, you should not eat or drink anything for about 6 hours before the examination. The procedure itself is painless but may feel unfamiliar. If desired, it can be made significantly more comfortable with a sedative or short sedation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-11e6b76a\"

For the examination, a thin plastic tube (gastroscope) equipped with a light and camera is inserted into the throat. The gastroscope is then gently advanced through the oesophagus into the stomach and\/or duodenum. The camera transmits the images to a monitor. Air is introduced to make any changes more clearly visible. If necessary, tissue samples can be taken directly using small forceps attached to the gastroscope. After the examination is complete, the gastroscope is carefully withdrawn.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><li class=\"accordion__item \"><div class=\"accordion__header \" \r\n                id=\"accordion-header-post-3163\"\r\n                role=\"button\"\r\n                aria-expanded=\"false\"\r\n                aria-controls=\"accordion-content-post-3163\"\r\n                data-id=\"post-3163\" \r\n                data-item=\"hfaq-post-3163\" data-slug=\"wie-lange-dauert-der-eingriff-2\" \r\n                style=\"background:#f7f7f7;\" \r\n                data-tags=\"\"\r\n                tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"accordion__title\">How long does the procedure take?<\/div><\/div><div id=\"accordion-content-post-3163\" \r\n                class=\"accordion__body\" \r\n                role=\"region\"\r\n                aria-labelledby=\"accordion-header-post-3163\"\r\n                style=\"background:#ffffff;\"><p>On average, the examination takes between 10 and 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><li class=\"accordion__item \"><div class=\"accordion__header \" \r\n                id=\"accordion-header-post-3164\"\r\n                role=\"button\"\r\n                aria-expanded=\"false\"\r\n                aria-controls=\"accordion-content-post-3164\"\r\n                data-id=\"post-3164\" \r\n                data-item=\"hfaq-post-3164\" data-slug=\"welche-risiken-gibt-es-2\" \r\n                style=\"background:#f7f7f7;\" \r\n                data-tags=\"\"\r\n                tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"accordion__title\">What are the risks?<\/div><\/div><div id=\"accordion-content-post-3164\" \r\n                class=\"accordion__body\" \r\n                role=\"region\"\r\n                aria-labelledby=\"accordion-header-post-3164\"\r\n                style=\"background:#ffffff;\"><p>Complications during gastroscopy are very rare.
