How colonoscopy Procedure Performed at Kaizen Gastro Care?
- Before the Procedure: Kaizen expert team gives some instructions before performing the colonoscopy procedures such as you will not be able to eat anything for approximately 24 hours before the procedure. You can drink clear liquids but should avoid anything red in color as this may be confused with blood during the procedure.
- During the Procedure: Kaizen team says to lie on your left side during the procedure and inserts a mouthguard to protect your teeth. Dr. Vikrant Kale will insert the colonoscope into your anus and pass it gently into your colon. If the expert finds abnormal areas or tissue or polyps, tiny instruments may be passed through the colonoscope to take samples or remove the polyps.
- After the Procedure: Afterwards, it normally takes around an hour for the effects of the sedative to wear off. You will need someone to escort you home as you will not be able to drive or use public transport alone after having a sedative.
