Endoscopic invasive procedures and polypectomy in local and total anaesthesia for early detection of colon cancer

PHI General Hospital „Blažo Orlandić“ Bar is performing endoscopic procedures with procured equipment for colon cancer diagnostic.

Both colonoscopy and gastroscopy are considered invasive and specific screening methods that require patient preparation a few days before screening, as well as it requires a team of specialist doctors and perioperative/instrumental nurses to be present during examination. The number of procedures has decreased by 5% compared to the average number of procedures performed in the period 2017-2019, which was expected as given the fact that hospital worked in COVID conditions during this reporting period.
