Sees patients at EXPERT medical network, Uzhhorod · 23A Kapushanska St
Andrii Leheza is an endoscopist at the EXPERT medical network hospital in Uzhhorod with 12 years of experience. Endoscopy makes it possible to examine the lining of the oesophagus, stomach and bowel from the inside using a flexible optical instrument and, if needed, to take a tissue sample for histology during the same procedure.
His work centres on video gastroscopy and video colonoscopy, including under sedation, as well as biopsy of the lining of the stomach, oesophagus and bowel. He performs intragastric pH monitoring and endoscopic placement and removal of intragastric balloons. These examinations are recommended for digestive symptoms, for follow-up after treatment or as part of routine screening.
An endoscopic examination requires preparation, and the doctor prescribes the preparation plan individually. When you book, the MediUkraine coordinator confirms which examination is planned and whether sedation is involved — this determines the requirements for your day, whether you need someone to accompany you and how long you will stay at the clinic. The coordinator also arranges a convenient date and reminds you of your appointment.

Most often because of digestive symptoms: upper abdominal pain, heartburn, changes in bowel habits, or to clarify a diagnosis after blood tests or an ultrasound scan. Endoscopy is also done as follow-up after treatment and as part of routine screening. The referral usually comes from a gastroenterologist, an internist or a family doctor.
Gastroscopy (OGD) examines the oesophagus, stomach and duodenum; colonoscopy examines the colon and rectum. They are different examinations with different preparation, and sometimes both are scheduled on the same day. Either can be done under sedation.
It is a short, medication-induced sleep during which the patient is monitored and their vital signs are checked. This option is chosen, for example, when someone has a strong gag reflex or feels anxious about the procedure. You must not drive on the day of sedation.
