Service Providers for Full Video Colonoscopy and Ileoscopy (R)
The Full Video Colonoscopy and Ileoscopy (R) procedure examines the colon and ileum (last part of the small intestine) for abnormalities like polyps, tumors, or inflammation. It involves inserting a flexible tube with a camera through the rectum. Preparation includes fasting and taking laxatives for bowel cleansing. The procedure is done under sedation. Risks include bleeding, perforation, and infection. Results are interpreted by reviewing images for abnormalities. Conditions like prior bowel surgeries, Crohn's disease, or strictures may complicate the process. Afterward, patients may experience mild discomfort or bloating as the sedation wears off.
