The development of modern healthcare services is a key priority for Euromedica’s diagnostic centers, with the Endoscopy–Gastroenterology Department playing a leading role in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of digestive system disorders. The Endoscopy Department is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, offering highly accurate examinations performed safely and comfortably for the patient. The use of modern high-definition endoscopic systems enables the early detection of abnormalities, contributing significantly to the prevention of serious diseases such as colorectal cancer.
At the same time, the Gastroenterology Department is staffed by experienced and specialized physicians who provide a comprehensive approach to the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease. Interdisciplinary collaboration with other medical specialties ensures personalized care for each patient.
Core Examinations of the Endoscopy Department
Gastroscopy: An endoscopic examination that allows direct visualization of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Gastroscopy is performed using a thin, flexible endoscope inserted through the mouth, enabling the physician to diagnose conditions such as gastritis, ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux, as well as to take biopsies when necessary.
Colonoscopy: The primary examination for evaluating the large intestine. It is performed using a flexible endoscope inserted through the rectum, allowing complete visualization of the colon. Colonoscopy enables the detection and removal of polyps, diagnosis of inflammatory diseases, and identification of early-stage cancer, thus playing a crucial role in prevention and early treatment.
Rectosigmoidoscopy: An endoscopic examination of the final part of the large intestine (rectum and sigmoid colon). It is a shorter procedure compared to colonoscopy and is used to investigate symptoms such as bleeding, pain, or changes in bowel habits, as well as to diagnose localized conditions.
Particular emphasis is placed on prevention through organized screening programs and public awareness initiatives, highlighting the importance of regular monitoring of digestive health.
The full range of gastroenterological examinations is available at selected Euromedica diagnostic centers in Attica—specifically at Euromedica Egkefalos Chalandriou, Euromedica Galatsi, Euromedica Peristeri, and Ippokratis Nikaia—ensuring easy access to high-quality healthcare services across different areas. For your convenience, you can obtain more information or schedule an appointment either by phone or via the “Book an Appointment” form.
Guided by quality, reliability, and respect for the patient, Euromedica’s diagnostic centers continue to invest in modern infrastructure and human resources, offering high-level services in the field of gastroenterology and endoscopy.
