2. Specifications

As well as giving better images than x-ray (barium enema or CT) of what the colon looks like from the inside, colonoscopy also allows for the removal of polyps (polypectomy) or biopsies of the colon. This is a painless procedure done while sedated that avoids the need for major surgery and protects against cancer.

For polyps larger than 5mm, polypectomy is performed by passing a wire loop through the colonoscope and snaring the base of the polyp, which is then electrocauterised with the polyp then retrieved. This process is painless to the patient.

Endoscopic surgery includes techniques such as endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) which are often needed for Polyps larger than 1.5cm.
