About this study

The investigators study aim is to determine whether there is a any advantage in starting with upper or lower endoscopy. The main study objective will be the amount of analgesia needed for sustaining the examinee's comfort during the exams. Secondary endpoints will rate of detection of significant pathologies, total time of procedure, examinee's tolerance, time to recovery and examinee's satisfaction.
