A colonoscopy is a flexible scope that is inserted through the rectum to diagnose and treat problems with the lower GI tract (rectum, colon). It is commonly used to further work up patients with:
- Bright red blood per rectum (BRBPR)
- Melena
- Unexplained constipation/diarrhea
- Routine follow-up for patients with known polyps, IBD, other chronic bowel disease
- Colon cancer screening (in US, every 10 years after age 45)
Preoperative management
Patient evaluation
