Texas Gastroenterology Center PLLC offers a vital service known as Colonoscopy, a leading-edge procedure that allows our expert gastroenterologists to evaluate the health of the colon and rectum. This minimally invasive examination allows potential abnormalities, such as polyps or other precancerous lesions, to be detected and addressed promptly, promoting early intervention and prevention of colorectal diseases.
Colonoscopy is a procedure performed using a flexible tube called a colonoscope, which is inserted through the rectum and advanced into the colon. The colonoscope is equipped with a camera that transmits real-time images to a monitor, enabling our gastroenterologists to visualize the entire colon length and detect any abnormal findings.
Colonoscopy serves as a critical tool in the prevention and early detection of colorectal cancer, a condition that ranks among the most common cancers worldwide. By identifying precancerous polyps or tumors at an early stage, colonoscopy significantly improves the chances of successful treatment and long-term survival rates.
Colonoscopy allows for the diagnosis and management of various conditions, including:
Polyps, which are abnormal growths in the colon or rectum, can be detected during colonoscopy and subsequently removed to reduce the risk of cancer development.
A colonoscopy helps assess the severity and extent of inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, enabling personalized treatment plans.
By visualizing the colon lining, a colonoscopy can identify diverticula, which are small pouches that form in the colon wall, potentially leading to complications such as diverticulitis.
