Bayswater Day Hospital: Endoscopy | Colonoscopy | Gastroscopy 664 Mountain Highway, Bayswater, Victoria 3153

Welcome to Bayswater Day Hospital, your premier destination for endoscopy, colonoscopy, and gastroscopy services in Australia. Located at Bayswater, Mountain Highway, 664, our institution is dedicated to providing top-quality healthcare in a comfortable and convenient setting.

Gastroscopy and endoscopy procedures are simple yet effective methods for assessing and diagnosing a range of symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, reflux, difficulty swallowing, or unexplained weight loss. By inserting a small camera through the mouth, our experienced doctors can obtain a clear view of the oesophagus, stomach, and small intestine, allowing for accurate detection of inflammation, ulcers, or early signs of cancer.

In addition to diagnosis, gastroscopy and endoscopy can also be used for therapeutic purposes, helping to prevent the need for invasive surgeries. Our skilled medical professionals can remove gastric polyps, address bleeding lesions, and stretch strictures, all through these minimally invasive procedures. Furthermore, biopsies can be taken if there are suspicions of tumors or infections.

Colonoscopy is another essential service we offer at Bayswater Day Hospital. This procedure is often recommended by doctors to assess symptoms such as abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, and to examine for conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, colon polyps, and colorectal cancer. By utilizing a small fiber optic video instrument called a colonoscope, our specialists can obtain a comprehensive view of the rectum and large intestine, providing accurate and reliable results.

At Bayswater Day Hospital, we prioritize your comfort and safety. Before any procedure, patients are given a light anaesthetic to ensure a painless and peaceful experience. Our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped with advanced technology, enabling us to display images on video screens for a better understanding and diagnosis.

We understand that undergoing medical procedures can sometimes cause uneasiness. However, it's important to note that both gastroscopy/endoscopy and colonoscopy are simple procedures that very rarely result in complications. Our dedicated doctors will thoroughly discuss any potential risks with you and address any concerns or questions you may have.

Transportation arrangements should be made as both gastroscopy/endoscopy and colonoscopy require a light anaesthetic, which may affect your ability to drive. We recommend having a responsible person accompany you during this time, as it's always safer to have someone available in case of any rare complications.

After your procedure, it's advisable to rest at home for 12 hours. Your doctor will provide you with specific after-care instructions, allowing you to relax and recover comfortably. Our website offers printable information for your convenience.
