Endoscopy Unit
In the endoscopy unit, we examine and treat various diseases related to the stomach and intestinal tract, urinary tract/bladder, trachea, lungs, and bile ducts. The operations are based on various endoscopies and procedures associated with them.
Treatment in specialized medical care requires a referral from a doctor. The referral can be obtained from the attending physician at a health center, a private medical clinic, or occupational health care.
Prepare for your visit
Before an endoscopic examination, you need to prepare in different ways depending on the procedure. Read how to prepare; instructions can be found under the examinations. It is very important that you follow the instructions correctly so that we can conduct the examination properly.
