Gastroscopy (Hanshin)

A camera examination of your upper digestive system (esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine) to check for issues like ulcers, inflammation, or other abnormalities. A thin, flexible tube with a camera is gently passed through your mouth while you're sedated.

For sedation, a short-acting sedative is given through an IV. The sedative used is mild enough to ensure you don't feel discomfort during the procedure, and generally, you'll wake up within about 30 minutes after the exam.

It is not mandatory to have someone escort you. However, please note that driving is not permitted after the procedure, so you may order a cab. Let us know if you want to know the rates for us to arrange transportation for you as well.

Recovery time varies by individual, but it generally takes between 15 to 40 minutes.

*Even if you decline some of the tests, the examination fee is not deducted. Time selection is based on availability, as listed on the above description (does not represent duration of exam). Booking requests are subject to confirmation from the center.
