The examination is performed for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the lower gastrointestinal tract, which includes the large intestine and the far end of the small intestine.

The colonoscope is a thin, flexible tube, 11 mm in diameter that has a tiny video camera at its end. It is inserted through the rectum and allows you to look directly at the large intestine and the far end of the small intestine as well as performing operations such as taking biopsies, excision of small tumors and polyps, injection, and burning to stop bleeding and dilate the formations. From this it can be understood that the guarantee of the success of these operations involves full and precise adherence to the instructions of the preparation in order to come to the examination with a clean colon without feces.

When is a colonoscopy necessary?
