What Happens During the Procedure of Colonoscopy?
Sedation and Positioning
You’ll be comfortably sedated and positioned on your side to allow smooth insertion of the colonoscope.
Insertion of Colonoscope
The flexible tube with a camera is gently inserted through the rectum and guided through the colon.
Visual Examination
The camera sends real-time images to a monitor, allowing the doctor to inspect the lining closely.
Polyp Removal (if needed)
Tissue samples or small polyps may be removed during the procedure for lab testing or prevention.
Comprehensive in a Single Session
Colonoscopy combines diagnosis and treatment in one sitting- minimizing discomfort, repeat visits, and speeding up your path to answers.
