Colonoscopy at Arsbiomedica

Colonoscopy is an endoscopic procedure that allows the exploration of the last part of the large intestine: the rectum, followed by the sigmoid colon and the entire colon up to the cecum. At Arsbiomedica, the gastroenterology team ensures that the examination is performed with the highest quality and in complete safety.

How is Colonoscopy performed?

In Colonoscopy, also known as “rectosigmoid colonoscopy,” a colonoscope, a long, thin endoscope, is used. It is inserted through the anus and advanced through the anal canal. If necessary, biopsies are taken for a correct histological definition of any lesions found, and it is also possible to directly remove highlighted polyps with appropriate techniques or treat sources of bleeding identified during the examination.

When is Colonoscopy recommended?

Colonoscopy is used for:

• Colorectal cancer screening;
• Diagnosis of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis);
• Polyps;
• Diverticula;
• Other abnormalities of the colon and rectum, such as telangiectasia or angiodysplasia.

What procedures should be followed before Colonoscopy?

This procedure requires specific intestinal preparation to be carefully followed to clean the digestive tract and facilitate visualization. (All practical instructions will be provided in advance by the specific office.)

When is it recommended to undergo Colonoscopy?

Screening programs are generally recommended for men and women aged 50 to 69 years old. Performing Colonoscopy while following the established steps is essential for diagnosing intestinal diseases and promptly identifying any preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions of the colon and rectum.
