Gastroscopy with biopsy is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the upper digestive tract and collect tissue samples. Patients can receive this examination at St. Martinus-Krankenhaus Düsseldorf in Germany. A specialized check-up including gastroscopy, colonoscopy, and ultrasound typically runs around €2,500.
The examination checks the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum for abnormalities. Doctors use a biopsy to perform a histological examination of tissue samples. This helps identify the Helicobacter pylori antigen and other digestive pathologies. The procedure is often part of a broader gastroenterology check-up package that includes lab tests and stool analysis.
The clinic offers a "Check-Up Gastro" package that provides multiple screenings in one visit. This option includes several components:
While the combined package is common, a standalone gastroscopy with biopsy may cost around $19,000 to $20,000 depending on the case. Polypectomy is available as an additional service for an extra cost.
Dr. Viktor Alexander Krol performs these diagnostics. He is the chief physician of gastroenterology and internal medicine with over 20 years of experience. Dr. Krol also leads the Obesity Center at the hospital. St. Martinus-Krankenhaus Düsseldorf holds JCI accreditation, meeting international standards for medical safety. The clinic is also accredited by the International Federation of Surgery and Obesity and the German Diabetes Association.
The diagnostic is performed in an inpatient setting, specifically when combined with other screenings. Patients receive a digital record of their procedure on a DVD alongside their final report. To learn more about check-up options or and book an appointment, you may leave a request on Bookimed.
