And so I underwent the 14 hours of strictly supervised emptying of the bowel at home. The next morning I voluntarily got onto the operating table, watched the IV be inserted into my hand and the sedative added. The last thoughts that I recall, and they also involved fear, were what was I going to wake up to find out... Lower GI endoscopy is a special exam of the lower gastrointestinal tract. If you are having symptoms of a lower GI problem, or have had an abnormal x ray, this procedure may be done to get a better look. Vernals Dr. Hans Karlsson says colon cancer starts inside a polyp. A recent, large study shows that if precancerous polyps are removed, those patients will not die of colon cancer. About one the half of colonoscopy patients he sees in his practice have had colonic polyps. Many patients didn't have any idea of their existence, because the polyps dont give any symptoms or signs, Dr. Karlsson says. Dr. For the Karlsson, colonoscopy process patients begins with a complete filling out of a necessary medical history being completed at home, followed by an extensive review of the material and what to expect during and following the procedure. His thorough and thoughtful nurse, Kirsi Keith, conducts this part of the preparation in his office.

Karlsson uses a long, narrow, flexible tube called an endoscope. This instrument contains a strong light and a video camera. The GI tract can then be viewed on a video screen. Photographs may be made at this time. During the procedure, the sedated patient lies on the table on their left side. The endoscope carries images of the colon to a video screen. If tissue samples or removal of polyps is required, it may be done during the procedure. About three hours after entering the hospital, I woke up in a hospital room. As soon as I was coherent, I could be taken home by a responsible driver at that point. sedative-induce- d Once my amnesia had passed , I was told that there was nothing discovered in the exam, and that no surgical testing was conducted. In Vernal, Dr. Karlsson sees hundreds of patients a year who need to have this procedure performed. Of these, only four or five find cancerous activity in the GI tract Dr. Karlsson says to people who fear a colonoscopy or are embarassed about the procedure, A colonoscopy is a smart thing to do! Karlsson recommends that the first scope should be performed at the age of 50 and even at a younger age if there is family history of colon cancer. Have a news tip?
