Diagnostics & Examination
The clinic offers a comprehensive Gastro check-up for thorough evaluation. This is a detailed package that includes multiple tests in one visit. The goal is to provide a complete picture of stomach and abdominal health. Key diagnostic methods include:
- Endoscopic gastroscopy: This minimally invasive examination uses a flexible endoscope. It allows for direct visual inspection of the stomach lining. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis with sedation for comfort.
- Abdominal ultrasound: A painless imaging test to view abdominal organs.
- Laboratory tests: Blood and other tests to check general health.
- Histological examination: Analysis of tissue samples taken during gastroscopy.
- H. pylori antigen test: Checks for a common stomach bacteria.
Treatment Approach
The initial step is accurate diagnosis through the check-up package. The package includes a consultation and all necessary tests. Findings from the endoscopy and histology guide any further treatment plans. This ensures a tailored approach based on individual results.
The all-inclusive Gastro check-up package typically costs around €4,500. The package covers all medical components of the diagnostic process:
- Medical history interview and consultation.
- All listed diagnostic procedures (gastroscopy, ultrasound, lab tests).
- Sedation for the gastroscopy.
- Histological examination of samples.
- H. pylori antigen testing.

Standard minimally invasive surgeries
|
Gastric sleeve resection |

The balloon is reduced to the stomach size and placed inside it using endoscopic techniques. Such procedure promotes quicker saturation. |
|
Gastric band |
Laparoscopic placement of the ring on the upper third of the stomach, which helps to get rid of the feeling of hunger more quickly. |
Innovative minimally invasive surgeries
|
Gastroplication |

|
Endobarrier |
A non-invasive therapeutic method for the patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity, during which a thin liner is inserted into primary and middle sections of the small intestine. The liner prevents interaction of food with these sections and is removed after the therapy. |
