Complex digestive endoscopy and endoscopic-ultrasound assessment
Distinguish an endoscopic examination, tissue sampling and a possible endoscopic treatment.
Chat on WhatsAppWhat the assessment considers
The review depends on the lesion’s location, size, appearance and any existing tissue diagnosis. A finding that can be sampled or examined endoscopically is not necessarily suitable for endoscopic treatment.
Records for the assessment
Bring full endoscopy reports with photographs or available videos. Also include biopsy results and relevant CT, MRI or ultrasound reports.
Questions for the clinical team
Ask whether the next procedure is intended to diagnose, stage, sample or remove a lesion. Discuss alternatives and the possibility that pathology findings or procedural difficulties could lead to further treatment.
Confirming care and arrangements
The hospital should confirm preparation, sedation or anaesthesia and recovery instructions for the actual procedure. Diagnostic and therapeutic work require clear scope, separate consent where applicable and a confirmed quotation.
Records to prepare
- Full endoscopy reports with photographs or available videos
- Biopsy results and relevant CT, MRI or ultrasound reports
- Medicine and allergy lists, including medicines affecting blood clotting
Questions for your clinician
- Is the proposed procedure diagnostic, therapeutic or potentially both?
- What would make surgery or another procedure necessary afterward?
This information helps you prepare for a clinical conversation. It does not establish a diagnosis, treatment eligibility or a confirmed booking. A listed hospital or clinician is not a claim of partnership. Seek local urgent care for an emergency.
