Hello! With the question: "How does the colonoscopy procedure take place?" Then the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Colonoscopy is a flexible endoscope with a camera attached through the anus to examine the rectum, colon and finally the cecum.
Through the camera, the doctor will observe the lining of the colon and rectum, thereby detecting the lesions even though they are very small in size.
Colonoscopy is a routine procedure performed at Vinmec. Here, many laparoscopic surgeries have been performed with accurate results, effective early screening for gastrointestinal cancers, significantly contributing to the diagnosis and stage of the disease.
You can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System to perform colonoscopy and get the best advice from specialist doctors.
Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Hope to meet you in the near future for a more detailed consultation. Best regards!
