COLONOSCOPY
DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE:
Reasons, risks, possible complications, and alternative procedures were explained to the patient, and the permit was signed. After sedation per Anesthesiology, the Olympus colonoscope was inserted in the rectum and advanced without difficulty to the cecum, which was identified by the ileocecal valve and appendiceal orifice. The colon was well cleansed. The scope was withdrawn, examining the entire lumen in circumferential fashion. The mucosal and vascular patterns were normal throughout and no intraluminal mass, lesions, or polyps were identified. Retrograde examination of the rectum and anoscopy were normal. She tolerated the procedure well and was transferred to Recovery.
