Medical treatment

Endoscopic Department

The Endoscopic Depatrment is the largest in the Republic of Belarus and is fitted with modern equipment by the Japanese companies Olympus and Fujinon.

In accordance with the order of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus the cleaning of the endoscopic equipment is performed in separate rooms with specialised washing machines. Instrument sterilisation is carried out in a central sterilisation department. The department works by appointment only. Register at reception, please.

Currently the department provides the following services:

• Oesophagogastroduodenofibroscopy (endoscope study of esophagus, gaster and dodecadactylon)
• Colonofiberscopy (endoscope study of the large gut)
• Endosonography (ultrasonic investigation of esophagus paries, gaster, dodecadactylon, mediastinal, pancrea-biliary zone) 
• Enteroscopy (study of the small gut) 
• Magnification endoscopy
• Chromoscopy (mucosa staining with Lugols iodine solution, Congo red, methylene blue and without staining - spectroscopic
• Debride extraction Removal of post surgical ligature Therapeutic endoscopy (including laser).

The resulting biopsies are investigated, including for the seeding of gastric mucosa by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori.
The great advantage we have is in our Clinical Histopathology Laboratory which allows you to receive your biopsy results within 2-3 days, and cytology is performed within 1 day.

Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory

The laboratory performs a wide range of studies in the following areas: General clinical research. Hematologic studies. Biochemical studies including that of the haemostatic system.

Haemostatic system evaluation is implemented on a wide range of characteristics of the vascular-thrombocytic (primary) haemostasis, plasmic (coagulation) haemostasis, activation markers of the intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis.

We carry out metabolic flux analysis: 

Hormonal studies are performed by the spectrum of markers of functional state of the thyroid gland and reproductive hormones, hormones studied by enzyme multiplied immunoassay and radioimmunoassay.

Clinical Histopathology Laboratory

The Laboratory of Clinical Histopathology has been a part of the centre since it opened. At present the laboratory is equipped with histological and optical equipment produced by the German company Leica Microsystems and the Japanese one Olympus.

The main advantages of the Clinical Histopathology Laboratory are our quick results, quick delivery of materials within the building, the puncture biopsy study in the case of gynaecological, urological and dental diseases, the same day cytological studies and the advice we give on biopsy materials conducted in the laboratories of the other healthcare institutions of the country.

The biopsy studies taken in the laboratory take 2 days on average. In rare cases it may take longer (occasionally 1-2 days as it may necessary to undertake further research and consulting from the experts at the Pathoanatomy Department at the Medical University.

The Clinical Histopathology Laboratory also conducts histochemical studies of biopsy material for mucin, using the Van Gieson method, SchiffРІР‚в„ўs reagent, for amyloid, using trichrome. The major contribution of the laboratory is in the field of oncological pathology.

It is worth mentioning that the laboratory focuses on studies of the gastrointestinal tract. The largest number of biopsies comes to the laboratory from the Endoscopic Department of the Diagnostic Centre and the material is presented by the biopsies of the gastrointestinal tract (biopsy of esophagus, gaster, dodecadactylon and major duodenal papilla, large gut and straight intestine). The presence of the Helicobacter pylori is also determined during the study of the biopsy material.
