At our Colonoscopy Unit, the colon and rectum are examined in detail using a specialized camera system. Colonoscopy may be performed to evaluate gastrointestinal conditions, support early diagnosis, and, when medically indicated, obtain biopsies or remove polyps.

A colonoscope is equipped with a camera and light source at its tip, allowing the physician to examine the inner lining of the colon in detail. The colonoscope also has functions such as air insufflation and water irrigation, which help provide a clear view of the intestinal lining and allow the physician to identify abnormalities and perform necessary procedures, including tissue sampling.

Colonoscopy is a widely used procedure for the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal conditions, including colorectal cancer. During the procedure, the physician may also remove polyps found on the inner surface of the colon. Removing certain polyps can help prevent them from developing into cancer.

Colonoscopy may also be used to investigate the source of gastrointestinal bleeding, evaluate symptoms associated with digestive disorders, and determine the underlying cause of other gastrointestinal complaints.
