What Is Involved?

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]A gastroscopy is normally a straightforward procedure. You may experience some irritation in your throat but this usually settles within 24-48 hours.

If you require a gastroscopy, your colorectal surgeon will explain the procedure in more depth. You?ll have the opportunity to ask any questions about the procedure and your condition.
