In medicine, colonoscopy is a "endoscopic examination, therapy or surgery of the luminal surface of the colon."[1]
Accuracy
Colonosopy is not perfect and may miss colonic polyps that could lead to colorectal cancer.[2] Several factors affect accuracy and these are part various quality indicators.[3][4]
- Operative experience
Colonoscopies performed by a primary care physician may be less accurate.[5] Colonoscopies performed by examiners who have performed a large volume of procedures are better(at least 200 per year)[6][7], perhaps especially if the prior experience was very recent[8]
- Bowel cleaning method
Administering the osmotic laxative the morning of the colonoscopy[9], of splitting the administration of the osmotic laxative into a dose the evening before colonoscopy followed by a second dose the morning of the colonoscopy helps[10].
- Withdrawal time
Withdrawing the colonoscopy too fast (less than 6 minutes) may cause missing of important abnormalities.[11]
Adverse effects
In a study of 2531 volunteers 50 years of age or older undergoing colonoscopy:[12]
- hematochezia occured after snare polypectomy in one patient and required 2 days of hospitalization
- Escherichia coli bacteremia occur in one patient and required hospitalization
