Screening Examinations at the Surgery & Endoscopy Centre 1160

At the Surgery & Endoscopy Centre 1160, under the direction of Dr Bernd Weiner, we offer a wide range of endoscopic examinations. These modern procedures enable precise diagnostics and contribute significantly to stomach and bowel cancer screening.​

Colonoscopy – Bowel Examination

Colonoscopy is a key method of bowel cancer screening. It enables the early detection and removal of polyps that could potentially lead to bowel cancer. At our private practice, we carry out this examination with the utmost care and state-of-the-art technology, to offer you a comfortable and safe experience.​

• Recommended from age 45 (earlier in cases of family history)
• Removal of bowel polyps (polypectomy) for cancer screening
• Investigation of symptoms such as blood in the stool, iron deficiency or irregular bowel movements
• Gentle procedure thanks to sedation
• The best method for bowel cancer screening

Gastroscopy – Stomach Examination

Gastroscopy is used to examine the oesophagus, stomach and duodenum. It is particularly important for the early detection of stomach cancer and other gastrointestinal conditions. Thanks to our modern equipment and the experience of Dr Bernd Weiner, we guarantee precise diagnostics and individual consultation.​

• Diagnosis of gastritis, reflux or stomach complaints
• Detection of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori
  
• Detection of early stages of stomach cancer or Barrett’s oesophagus
• Sample collection for histological examination
• Performed under gentle sedation for maximum comfort

Rectoscopy & Proctoscopy – Screening of the Rectum

Rectoscopy and proctoscopy are short, painless examinations of the rectum and anal canal, used for the early detection of conditions such as haemorrhoids, anal fissures, polyps or even early-stage tumours. They allow targeted investigation of symptoms such as blood in the stool, pain during bowel movements or itching in the anal area.

• Examination for bleeding, pain or changes in the anal area
• Detection of haemorrhoids, fissures or tumours in the rectum
• Early detection of bowel conditions and inflammatory changes
• Quick and safe outpatient procedure at the practice

Our screening examinations at the Surgery & Endoscopy Centre 1160 help with the early detection of:

• Bowel cancer & stomach cancer
  
• Polyps – their removal significantly lowers the risk of cancer
• Helicobacter pylori – a trigger for gastritis & stomach cancer
• Barrett’s oesophagus – a precancerous condition caused by chronic reflux
• Crohn’s disease & ulcerative colitis
  
• Haemorrhoids and other conditions of the rectum

At the Surgery & Endoscopy Centre 1160, we rely on modern technology and gentle procedures to offer you the greatest possible comfort and the highest safety in all endoscopic examinations. On request, gastroscopy, colonoscopy or rectoscopy can be performed under sedation (twilight sedation), so that you experience the examination in a relaxed and pain-free way. The procedure is carried out on an outpatient basis directly at our premises – or, if necessary, as an inpatient at Krankenhaus Göttlicher Heiland Wien.
