a fiber optic tube to directly inspect the entire colon

approximately 5 feet long

has two fiber optic bundles: one provides a light source inside the colon and the other transmits the image from the colon to a high definition monitor and recording device

fourth channel can be used to insert a biopsy device

70

must cleanse their bowel prior to a colonoscopy
usually given conscious sedation for the procedure
done by a gastroenterologist
can biopsy suspicious lesions and remove polyps at the time of the procedure without the need for another preparation and a separate sedation and procedure

Detects 66% of men if a polyp is found and triggers full colonoscopy
55% of lesions in women as cancers are more proximal
can be done with the patient awake and on an examining table in the primary care provider’s office
Discomfort often limits the examination to the first foot of the colon (sigmoid colon)
