Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy is a procedure used to see the inside of the colon (the large intestine and the last part of your digestive system) and rectum. A colonoscopy can detect inflamed tissue, ulcers, and abnormal growths.

To prepare for this procedure, patients need to clean out their system. A laxative or an enema may be suggested to aid in clean out.
On the night before the procedure, children can not eat after midnight and through the morning of the scheduled procedure.
