Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy

During a colonoscopy, a specially designed flexible tube is inserted into the colon. This examination is vital in the location and removal of polyps, diagnosing cancer, finding the cause of intestinal bleeding, and following patients with previous polyps or cancers. The examination is performed with sedation to maximize patient comfort.

It is important to undergo colonoscopy regularly to prevent cancer and diagnose other diseases.
