What does it consist of?
The Colonoscopy is a test that allows to visualise the inside of the colon (large intestine) using a flexible tube with a camera on its end. It is used to investigate symptoms such as changes in Bowel rhythm, bleeding, abdominal pain, or for the early detection of polyps or lesions.
It is a Safe and effective technique which is carried out under sedation to ensure patient comfort. Thanks to its image quality, it allows for a detailed examination of the colon lining and the detection of abnormalities that cannot be identified with other tests.
In addition to its diagnostic function, colonoscopy allows for treatments to be performed during the same procedure, such as the Polypectomy Hello biopsy procedures. This makes it a key tool for both the diagnosis and prevention of digestive diseases.
