Colonoscopy is a procedure that a gastroenterologist uses to look at the inside of the colon. The colon is located at the end of the digestive tract and has the job of reabsorbing water from the digested matter and making solid waste. A colonoscopy involves going into a doctor’s office and being made sleepy with medication through an IV. When you are asleep, the doctor places a thin tube with a camera on the end (an colonoscope) into the rectum and into the colon. A colonoscopy is particularly good for looking directly at the wall of the coon and visualizing any abnormalities like polyps which can then be removed.
