Outpatient Procedure

A colonoscopy is a procedure used most commonly to screen for colon cancer and/or to identify and correct bleeding problems. Colonoscopy is also used to evaluate persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, and change in bowel habits. The colonoscope is a long thin flexible tube. At the tip is a video camera which projects images of the colon onto a large monitor.The colonoscope also has tiny channels in the tube for flushing water, for inflating and deflating the colon, and for passing small instruments during the procedure. Colonoscopy is usually an outpatient procedure that the Gastroenterologist performs at an endoscopy center. During a colonoscopy, the Gastroenterologist might perform any number of tasks depending on findings. These include: taking photos to document findings, sampling tissue to submit to the lab for biopsies, removing precancerous polyps, dilating areas of narrowing, or performing cautery or applying clips to stop bleeding. The Gastroenterologist will inject intravenous (IV) sedation to keep you drowsy and comfortable during the entire procedure.
