Video Endoscopy Price in Bangladesh

What is Video Endoscopy?

Video endoscopy is a medical procedure that uses a flexible tube with a camera, known as an endoscope, to visually examine the inside of the body. The ""video"" aspect refers to the real-time video feed from the camera, which is displayed on a monitor for the physician to assess.

Video endoscopy is commonly used for diagnosing and treating conditions in various areas, such as the gastrointestinal tract (e.g., colonoscopy, gastroscopy), respiratory system (e.g., bronchoscopy), and urinary tract.

It is minimally invasive, usually performed under local anesthesia or sedation, with risks including infection, bleeding, or injury to surrounding tissues.

What to expect & how to prepare

This is an interventional procedure carried out by a specialist doctor, not a walk-in laboratory test. The doctor performing it will explain the steps, the sedation or anaesthesia used, and the recovery time before you give written consent.

• Referral: bring the referral or advice from the doctor who requested this procedure, along with earlier reports and imaging.
• Fasting and medication: fasting time and instructions about blood thinners, diabetes medicines or other drugs come from the performing doctor and are specific to this procedure — follow those instructions, not general lab advice.
• Consent: you will be asked for written informed consent, and you can ask about risks and alternatives before signing.
• Companion: if sedation is planned, arrange for someone to travel home with you.

Interventional procedures carry procedure-specific risks. Discuss your medical history, allergies, pregnancy status and current medicines with the performing doctor beforehand.

Performed by a specialist team; a doctor's referral is normally required.
