Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Procedure: An Overview
Bowel symptoms like persistent rectal bleeding, chronic abdominal pain or unexplained changes in bowel habits should never be ignored. Colonoscopy/Sigmoidoscopy is a safe and minimally invasive endoscopic procedure that allows specialists to examine the inner lining of the large intestine with precision.
Whether you need a routine colon screening test or evaluation of symptoms, advanced diagnostic colonoscopy helps Dr Abhishek Banerjee identify the root cause and guide timely treatment.
Explaining Colonoscopy / Sigmoidoscopy
Colonoscopy/Sigmoidoscopy involves the examination of the colon and rectum using an endoscope with a high-definition camera for real-time visualisation of the bowel lining.
A colonoscopy examines the entire large intestine, while a sigmoidoscopy test evaluates the lower colon and rectum.
These procedures support the diagnosis of bleeding, inflammation and bowel disorders, including IBD, colorectal polyps and unexplained rectal bleeding. Colonoscopy also allows detection and removal of colon polyps, reducing the risk of colorectal cancer progression.
If you seek screening for colorectal cancer or investigation of persistent bowel symptoms, consult Dr Abhishek Banerjee, a colonoscopy specialist, urgently.
