Colonoscopy



• A colonoscopy is an exam of the lower partof the gastrointestinal tract, the colon or

large intestine (bowel).• Colonoscopy is a safe procedure that

provides information other tests may notbe able to give.



DEC!"#$"%&

• Colonoscopy allows inspection of the mucosa of theentire colon, ileocecal valve ' terminal ileum usinga exible beroptic colonoscope inserted throughthe anus ' advanced to the terminal ileum.



• $he colonoscope is a multichannel instrument thatallows viewing of the gastrointestinal (*") tract lining,

insu+ation of air, aspiration of uid, obtaining oftissue biopsy samples ' passage of a laser beam forobliteration of tissue and control of bleeding.

• ucosal surfaces of the lower *" tract are examinedfor ulcerations, polyps, chronic diarrhea, hemorrhagic

sites, neoplasms ' strictures.



• During the procedure, tissue samples may

be obtained for cytology ' sometherapeutic procedures may be performed(such as excision of small tumors orpolyps, coagulation of bleeding sites, andremoval of foreign bodies).
