Colonoscopy: Methods and Equipment for Performing

Colonoscopy is the diagnosis of the large intestine using an endoscopic method to detect various diseases and pathologies, as well as to perform minimally invasive treatment. To provide the patient with maximum comfort and make the procedure painless, anesthesia is used.

During their internship in laparoscopic technique, many of them have not received practical training with simulators Laparoscopic Trainer.

Directions for the Use of Colonoscopy

Diagnosis of inflammatory, oncological and other diseases of the colon

It used for screening for pathologies in people without symptoms of the disease. In particular, screening for bowel cancer, which recommended to carried out regularly from the age of 45 or from the age of 40 if there is a burdened family history.

·         Removal of polyps

·         Minimally invasive treatment for Colorectal Cancer

Colonoscopy performs using a special instrument called a Colonoscope

Computer Colonoscopy: Tools and Technologies

A Colonoscope (endoscope) is a flexible tube with a camera at one end. It injected through the anus into the rectum, after which it enters the large intestine. Air supplied through one channel in the Colonoscope, and excess fluid taken through the other. The procedure usually lasts up to 30 minutes, but it all depends on the individual case.

The camera at the end of the tube allows not only to see what is happening in the large intestine, but also to record the study on an electronic medium. The specialist receives an image in HD resolution on a computer monitor. He can record a video, take photographs, which, after the diagnosis, he can give to the patient and / or send to other specialists. Therefore, the procedure for examining the intestines using an endoscope also called computer or virtual colonoscopy. Colonoscopy performed with or without anesthesia. In some cases, the use of anesthesia strongly recommended.

Colonoscopy with Anesthesia: Indications for Performance

The large intestine has a large number of loops and bends. Therefore, its diagnosis using a Colonoscope often accompany by discomfort, and sometimes-painful sensations. The response of the body to the introduction of the endoscope is difficult to predict. Sometimes pain can accompany the patient even after the diagnosis is completed. To reduce or completely remove negative consequences, it recommends performing a colonoscopy under anesthesia.

There are cases when anesthesia is required:

·         The presence of attachments on the digestive organs;

·         Crohn's disease;

·         Destructive processes in the colon;

·         Children's age (if the procedure causes severe discomfort in the child);

·         Low pain threshold;

·         Intense excitement that can lead to fainting or shock

In all of the above cases, colonoscopy without anesthesia not recommended.

Types of Anesthesia for Colonoscopy

The type of anesthesia select by a specialist, considering the patient's indicators, his diagnosis and sensitivity to various anesthetics.

There are three types of anesthesia used in medical practice to eliminate discomfort during the procedure and improve the quality of the study:

·         Local anesthesia,

·         Sedation,

·         General anesthesia

Local anesthesia involves the local application of an anesthetic drug to reduce sensitivity in the area diagnose. It should note that when using local anesthesia, pain does not disappear completely. In addition, since the patient is still conscious, he may experience feelings of anxiety and fear.

Sedation is putting the patient into a medical sleep. During sedation, there is no sensitivity, but the person hears and responds to the doctor's call.

Bowel Colonoscopy

Computer colonoscopy under general anesthesia consists in performing the procedure with a complete loss of consciousness by the patient. A person does not feel, hear or see anything. After a colonoscopy, the patient does not have unpleasant memories. Despite these benefits, complications are possible in some cases. To avoid negative consequences, the procedure carries out in the operating room and under the supervision of an anesthesiologist.

Colonoscopy Performed Under General Anesthesia

The phases of the system are as per the following:

·         The patient takes off his clothes to the waist, lies on his left side and bends his knees.

·         The anesthesiologist makes anesthesia.

·         Once the anesthesia has taken effect, the endoscope is inserted into the anus and then into the large intestine.

·         The doctor performs an examination of the intestine, takes a biomaterial for additional diagnostics, removes polyps, or performs another procedure.

·         The Colonoscope carefully removes; the patient brings back to consciousness.

In rare cases, after a colonoscopy, some complications are possible: infection, an allergic reaction to pain medication, bleeding, breathing problems.

With local sedation, the patient can easily return home. When performing out a colonoscopy with sedation, it is important to notice for the patient until he returns home, his awareness is completely reestablished.
