Overview
Colonoscopy is considered as a gold standard for evaluating intestine, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Tissue biopsy and polypectomy could be done during colonoscopy. Findings on a colonoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy suggestive of colon polyps include visual detection of an outgrowth. Colonoscopy has 0.02% mortality and 0.2% morbidity 0.2%. Colonoscopy has side effects including pain, risk of perforation and bleeding.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Colonoscopy
- Colonoscopy may be helpful in the diagnosis of colon polyps.[1][2][3][4][5]
- Colonoscopy is considered as a gold standard for evaluating intestine, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
- Findings on a colonoscopy suggestive of colon polyps include visual detection of an outgrowth.
- Tissue biopsy and polypectomy could be done during colonoscopy.
- Colonoscopy has side effects including:
- Mortality 0.02%
- Morbidity 0.2%
- Pain
- Perforation 0.03-0.06%
- Bleeding
Flexible sigmoidoscopy
- Flexible sigmoidoscopy may be helpful in the diagnosis of colon polyps.[1][6]
- Findings on a flexible sigmoidoscopy suggestive of colon polyps include visual detection of an outgrowth.
- Flexible sigmoidoscopy might be performed for re-examination and follow-up.
- For screening, flexible sigmoidoscopy must be used every five years.
Capsule endoscopy
- Capsule endoscopy may be helpful in the diagnosis of colon polyps.
- Findings on a capsule endoscopy suggestive of colon polyps include visual detection of an outgrowth.
