Colonoscopy is recommended as a routine diagnostic procedure for those over 50 who are at an increased risk of colon cancer in addition to its value in examining the source of colorectal ailments.

The colonoscope is equipped with a light and camera as well as instruments that allow your colorectal specialist to remove polyps, assess abnormalities and collect biopsies for further testing.
