Patient Information Colonoscopy
Welcome to the Patient Information Colonoscopy page at Adnan Qureshi Consulting. Here, we aim to provide you with vital information about colonoscopy, including what the procedure involves, how to prepare for it, what to expect during the procedure, and possible complications.
What is Colonoscopy?
Colonoscopy is a procedure used to examine the lining of the colon and rectum for abnormalities, such as polyps or cancer. It involves inserting a flexible tube with a camera into the rectum to visualize the entire colon.
Bowel Prep and Sedation
Prior to the colonoscopy, you will need to follow specific instructions for bowel preparation to ensure the colon is clear for optimal visualization. Sedation may be offered to help you relax during the procedure.
Procedure and Complications
During the colonoscopy, the consultant general & colorectal surgeon will carefully examine the colon and may remove any abnormal tissue for further analysis. Possible complications include bleeding, perforation, or reaction to sedation.
