Usually, gastroscopy takes about 10 minutes, but if there is a suspected lesion or biopsy is needed during the examination, the examination time may be prolonged. Gastroscopy is contraindicated in special groups such as those suffering from severe heart disease, lung disease, acute severe pharyngeal disease, inability to cooperate in delirium or insanity, acute stage of stroke, suspected perforation of the gastrointestinal tract or shock.
