COLONOSCOPY

Scope to evaluate large bowel, this procedure is able to detect growths that could either be removed or need surgical resection. A colonoscopy is also used to evaluate extension of diseases like deep Diverticulitis, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's disease, or simply to evaluate bleeding. It is the most effective way to conduct a colon cancer screening.
