Very smooth insertion of colonoscope, which can change your colonoscopy to a comfortable experience. Our water pouring system through colonoscope can reduce the painful resistance between colonoscope and colonic wall during colonoscope insertion. Our colonoscopy is provided also using carbon-dioxide gas feeding and proper anesthesia for patients’ comfort.
3. Colonoscopy without bowel preparation intake (¥85,600)
Normally, patients must take total amount of 1-2L mixture of polyethylene glycol (MiraLAX ®, MOVIPREP®) for bowel preparation before colonoscopy. If you feel this preparation inconvenient or discomfort, we offer you to inject your MiraLAX mixture through gastroscope into your intestine, off course under proper anesthesia. After MiraLAX injection through gastroscope, you can easily go to toilet for several times to make your intestine clear. After completion of bowel cleansing, you will have next endoscopy, colonoscopy, under proper anesthesia. In this procedure, patients must be in our clinic at least for more than 4 hours, which means the time for gastroscopy, MiraLAX injection, many times toilets, and colonoscopy.
4. Bowel cleansing with gastroscopy (¥35,000)
If you bother long time with stubborn constipation, we can offer you an alternative resolution, bowel cleansing with gastroscopy. Gastroscopy is performed under proper anesthesia. At the end of gastroscopy, we inject 1L of bowel cleansing mixture (MiraLAX ®, MOVIPREP®) through gastroscope to your intestine. After gastroscopy, you will wake up very soon and feel like going to toilet.
