Vista Health offers colonoscopy procedures, an effective diagnostic examination for bowel conditions, changes, and abnormalities. The procedure involves inserting a flexible telescope into the patient's back passage, inflating the large bowel with air to facilitate an in-depth examination. This equipment allows the endoscopist to take photographs and perform biopsies for accurate diagnoses. Vista Health performs this procedure under conscious sedation, typically taking between 30-45 minutes. The endoscopist may offer gas and air or a sedative to ensure patient comfort. If necessary, such as the discovery of colon polyps, the doctor can simultaneously take samples or remove tissue for further laboratory analysis.
