Özet
Colonoscopy is a procedure used for the diagnosis and treatment of all colonic segments and their diseases from anus to cecum with flexible instruments which is specially manufactured with light and camera. Colonoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure which is used in diagnosis and treatment. The complication rate is extremely low when it is performed by an experienced doctor or team and with good equipment. Compared with virtual colonoscopy and enema opaque colon graphy, colonoscopy is seen more specific in recognizing colon polyps and colon malignancies. Colonoscopy does not require very large machines or facilities like tomography; therefore, it can be performed in endoscopy offices or centers. In this chapter, indications and contraindications of colonoscopy are explained.
