What If I Need to Have a Flexible Sigmoidoscopy or Colonoscopy?

A Flexible Sigmoidoscopy is where the Consultant will look into your sigmoid colon using a thin telescope called an endoscope . A Colonoscopy is where the Consultant will into your large bowel (colon) . This is a usually done in the endoscopy room as an out-patients procedure . You are awake during this procedure, although some light anaesthetic will be used locally during a colonoscopy .

To arrange this procedure you will be asked to contact Emma ( 0117 317 1305 ), who can discuss this procedure with you in more detail and arrange a convenient time and date.
