===Direct viewing===
In the most common method, a direct-viewing fiber optic colonoscope is inserted in the anus, under [[conscious sedation]] or [[general anesthesia]], and threaded into the colon. The operator sees the magnified surface on a color television monitor, and is able to insert instruments to take biopsies, or remove or cauterize suspicious areas.
===Virtual colonoscopy===
One method of virtual colonoscopy reconstructs the view from multiple [[computed tomography]] scans of the area. It is noninvasive, but does not allow biopsy or interventions.
===Autonomous camera===
Another method involves having the patient swallow a capsule containing a miniaturized camera and light source, which transmits to radio antennas around the patient's body. Like the CT method, it is noninvasive and does not allow intervention. There is some concern that colon obstruction or motility problems might cause the capsule to become stuck.

In medicine, colonoscopy is a "endoscopic examination, therapy or surgery of the luminal surface of the colon."[1]

Methods

Preparation

The most effective bowel preparation is split dose.[2][3]

Direct viewing

In the most common method, a direct-viewing fiber optic colonoscope is inserted in the anus, under conscious sedation or general anesthesia, and threaded into the colon. The operator sees the magnified surface on a color television monitor, and is able to insert instruments to take biopsies, or remove or cauterize suspicious areas.

Virtual colonoscopy

One method of virtual colonoscopy reconstructs the view from multiple computed tomography scans of the area. It is noninvasive, but does not allow biopsy or interventions.

Autonomous camera

Another method involves having the patient swallow a capsule containing a miniaturized camera and light source, which transmits to radio antennas around the patient's body. Like the CT method, it is noninvasive and does not allow intervention. There is some concern that colon obstruction or motility problems might cause the capsule to become stuck.

Accuracy

Colonosopy is not perfect and may miss colonic polyps that could lead to colorectal cancer.[4] Several factors affect accuracy and these are part various quality indicators.[5][6]

Adenoma detection rate

A cohort study found "The adenoma detection rate was inversely associated with the risks of interval colorectal cancer, advanced-stage interval cancer."[7]

Operative experience

Colonoscopies performed by a primary care physician may be less accurate.[8] Colonoscopies performed by examiners who have performed a large volume of procedures are better(at least 200 per year)[9][10], perhaps especially if the prior experience was very recent[11] Non-gastroenterologists do not do as well.[12]

Bowel cleaning method

Administering the osmotic laxative the morning of the colonoscopy[13], 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[14]. A smaller 960-mL oral sulfate solution split between half the evening before and half the morning of the procedure may be an alternative.[15]

Cecal intubation rates

Operators should intubate 95% of cecums when screening healthy adults.[5]

Withdrawal time

Withdrawing the colonoscopy too fast (less than 6 minutes) may cause missing of important abnormalities.[16]

Adverse effects

Colonoscopy has infrequent severe adverse effects.[17][18] In a study of 2531 volunteers 50 years of age or older undergoing colonoscopy:[19]
