Marcin Olender

  • 4.2 Good • 88 reviews
  • 21 years of experience
  • Poland, Jelenia Góra, KCM Clinic
  • Specialist in General Surgery | Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

    Dr Marcin Olender is a specialist in general surgery with extensive clinical experience in the diagnosis and treatment of surgical and gastrointestinal conditions. At KCM Clinic, he focuses particularly on gastrointestinal endoscopy and provides patients with comprehensive diagnostic examinations of the upper and lower digestive tract.

    His clinical practice combines surgical expertise with modern endoscopic diagnostic techniques, allowing patients to receive accurate assessment and appropriate recommendations based on their individual medical needs.

    Areas of Expertise

    Dr Olender specialises in:

    • General surgery
    • Gastrointestinal endoscopy
    • Gastroscopy
    • Colonoscopy
    • Colonoscopy with polypectomy
    • Diagnosis of diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract
    • Diagnosis of diseases of the lower gastrointestinal tract
    • Endoscopic assessment of gastrointestinal symptoms
    • Qualification for gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures
    • Selected procedures supporting the treatment of obesity

    At KCM Clinic, Dr Olender performs both gastroscopy and colonoscopy, including colonoscopy with removal of polyps when medically indicated.

    Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

    Gastrointestinal endoscopy is an important part of modern diagnosis and prevention of digestive system diseases.

    During a gastroscopy, the oesophagus, stomach and duodenum are carefully examined. The procedure can help identify conditions such as inflammation, ulcers, bleeding and other abnormalities.

    A colonoscopy allows examination of the large intestine and is an important tool in the diagnosis and prevention of colorectal cancer. When appropriate, polyps can be removed during the same procedure and subsequently sent for histopathological examination.

    Dr Olender also performs endoscopic examinations as part of the diagnostic pathway for patients with gastrointestinal symptoms and conditions requiring further investigation.

    A Patient-Centred Approach

    Dr Olender places particular emphasis on patient safety, careful diagnosis and clear communication.

    Before an examination, patients receive information about the procedure and preparation requirements. During the consultation, the patient's symptoms, medical history and individual risk factors are taken into consideration.

    The goal is to make the diagnostic process as comfortable, safe and informative as possible while ensuring that patients understand the purpose and results of their examination.

    Experience in Bariatric Care

    Dr Olender is also a member of the multidisciplinary bariatric team at KCM Clinic. His work in this area includes gastrointestinal diagnostics and selected endoscopic procedures supporting the treatment of obesity, including the placement of a gastric balloon as part of an individually tailored weight-management programme.

    Gastrointestinal endoscopy can play an important role in the assessment and preparation of patients undergoing bariatric treatment, helping physicians evaluate the condition of the digestive tract and identify potential medical considerations before treatment.

    Your Visit at KCM Clinic

    During your appointment, Dr Olender will discuss your symptoms, medical history and the reason for the examination. You will receive information about how to prepare for the procedure, what to expect during the examination and any necessary follow-up.

    Our priority is to provide patients with professional medical care, accurate diagnostics and a comfortable experience throughout the entire diagnostic process.
