Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy is a versatile and essential medical procedure that serves a multitude of critical roles in healthcare. It acts as a powerful screening and diagnostic tool, identifying conditions such as colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulosis, and gastrointestinal bleeding. This procedure not only detects but also prevents, as it allows for the removal of precancerous polyps, significantly reducing the risk of colorectal cancer. Within the realm of colonoscopy, the polypectomy procedure is of utmost importance, focusing on the removal of polyps, whether benign or precancerous. It plays a pivotal role in both diagnosis and prevention. In cases of gastrointestinal bleeding, colonoscopy is an invaluable tool for assessing and diagnosing the sources of bleeding within the GI tract, enabling effective treatment. Furthermore, colonoscopy is a gold standard for colorectal cancer screening, offering early detection, particularly for individuals at high risk. For individuals scheduled for colonoscopy, consulting with a gastroenterologist or specialist is essential. Adequate preparation, including dietary and cleansing regimens, is necessary to ensure a clear view of the colon during the procedure.
