Gastric polyps removal at Meliva Kardiolita Hospital in Vilnius, Lithuania, is performed using advanced endoscopic techniques. The medical center is the only facility in the Baltic States with JCI accreditation, which marks high standards for patient safety and care. Doctors use digital video endoscopy to find and remove polyps without the need for open surgery.
Advanced Endoscopic Polypectomy
The hospital uses a digital video endoscopy system for high-resolution imaging. This technology helps doctors detect even small changes in the stomach lining. During a procedure called esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), the specialist removes polyps from the stomach walls. The clinic treats both polyps smaller than 1 cm and those larger than 1 cm.
Patients can choose to have the procedure under intravenous anesthesia for better comfort. The medical team also manages safety by having endoscopic bleeding control tools ready during the surgery. The facility has four operating rooms and its own laboratory for fast testing.
Specialists and Diagnostics
Gastroenterologists at the hospital provide expert care for digestive tract issues. Dr. Vilius Kontenis performs endoscopic removals and offers consultations in English. Dr. Juozas Stanaitis, a Doctor of Medical Sciences, treats patients at the dedicated Gastroenterology Center.
During the same endoscopy session, the doctors can perform additional diagnostic steps. These include:
- Biopsy for histological examination to check the nature of the polyp.
- Helicobacter pylori test to identify bacterial infections.
- Digital video imaging for a clear view of the stomach tissues.
International Patient Support
The hospital has 44 beds and provides 24/7 nursing care for all patients. International guests receive help from a dedicated English-speaking coordinator. The facility also has a rehabilitation center to support recovery after medical procedures. Because the hospital follows JCI protocols, all steps from diagnosis to recovery meet international quality levels.
