GASTROENTEROLOGICAL EXAMINATIONS

Get an examination without waiting, at a time that suits you. The Gastroenterology Department at Asklepion Karlovy Vary performs all gastroenterological examinations: endoscopic and proctological examinations, examinations of the colon (colonoscopy), rectoscopy, and anoscopy, etc. The Gastroenterology Department at Asklepion Karlovy Vary has state-of-the-art diagnostic instruments (ultrasound, colonoscope, and gastroscope with a micro camera, an aspirator and biological forceps connected to a computer, single use anoscopes, and other devices)

ALLURION (FORMERLY ELIPSE) SWALLOWABLE BALLOON

Simply swallow a small capsule and take a drink. Once inside the stomach, the capsule is filled with saline through a probe and becomes a balloon that fills about 70% of the stomach. The doctor takes the probe out, checks everything with ultrasound, and you start losing weight. After 4 months, the balloon dissolves by itself and spontaneously emerges out of the body. In addition, the entire weight loss process with an Elipse (formerly Elipse) balloon is conducted under the guidance of a nutritional therapist. You also get free smart scale, so you can easily check your progress at home. 

SPATZ BALLOON

The Spatz Balloon is the only balloon that can be replenished during the course of treatment. The physician may thus commence with a lower volume, and when its effectiveness begins to diminish, increase the balloon's volume. After 12 months, the physician will endoscopically remove the Spatz Balloon from the body.

MEDSIL BALLOON

An empty balloon is inserted into the stomach during gastroscopy. The balloon is filled with a physiological solution via a catheter. The entire insertion process is supervised by a physician in the gastroenterological tower. Due to the feeling of satiety, you begin to eat less and lose weight.


After 6 months, the physician removes the Medsil balloon endoscopically from the body. Consult with the physician to determine which balloon is suitable for you.
