Extensive care (appr. 322 patients daily) is provided by all the basic specialties of the discipline of internal medicine.

The infrastructure of the endoscopy laboratory provides a high quality environment, its technological devices meet the current standards. All expected diagnostic and therapeutic interventions can be performed:
- Upper panendoscopy examination (esophagus, stomach and duodenum); biopsy, hemostasis, polyp removal, placement of feeding tubes (nasojejunal, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG)) and of esophagus stents,

In case of an urgent endoscopy, hemostasis and therapeutic interventions are performed already at the Emergency Unit if possible. After an endoscopy in sedation, patients are taken to the Recovery Room, where they can have rest and their condition is monitored.
