Ileocolonoscopy
Colonoscopy is a research method in which a doctor uses endoscopic equipment to visually assess the condition of the mucous membrane of the colon and terminal ileum.
Due to the high diagnostic accuracy, colonoscopy allows timely detection and removal of both precancerous changes in the mucous membrane (polyps) and malignant changes in the early stages of the disease (the so-called "early cancer").
During colonoscopy, other changes in the mucous membrane can be diagnosed, such as inflammatory processes, erosive and ulcerative lesions, and neoplasms. As part of colorectal cancer screening, colonoscopy is recommended for patients over 40 years of age (even if there are no complaints). It is also important for people who have a hereditary predisposition to colon cancer to undergo this procedure.
Preparation for the procedure begins 3-5 days before the examination. At this time, you need to follow a special diet with the exception of vegetable fiber. On the eve or on the day of the procedure (depending on the time of the start of the examination), it is necessary to start taking a drug that cleanses the intestine. It is important to follow all the preparation steps described in the memo. Poor-quality preparation reduces the diagnostic accuracy of colonoscopy and may require repeated examination for a more detailed examination.

During the study, a sequential examination of the mucous membrane of all parts of the colon is performed. If necessary, a biopsy or removal of polyps can be performed.а толстой кишки в тонкую. В ходе исследования выполняется последовательный осмотр слизистой оболочки всех отделов толстой кишки. При необходимости может быть выполнена биопсия или удаление полипов.
Olympus Clinic uses modern endoscopic equipment of an expert class. High-precision endoscopes with HD cameras and special image quality enhancement modes provide excellent visualization, allowing doctors to identify and examine in detail the smallest changes in the mucous membrane.
Recovery occurs quickly — after a study conducted under conditions of drug-induced sleep, the patient stays in a separate comfortable room with a comfortable bed for 30-40 minutes, after which he can return to his usual lifestyle, eliminating driving on the day of the study. In case of removal of polyps, the doctor gives individual recommendations on nutrition and regimen.
