The following information is about Colonoscopy.

Colonoscopy Defined

Procedure that involves gradually advancing a flexible fiber-optic telescope attached to a television monitor through the entire colon. The colonoscope is similar to the flexible sigmoidoscope, though it's several feet longer. It allows the doctor performing the procedure to directly see the inner lining of the entire colon. Colonoscopy is the most effective way to evaluate the inside of your entire colon for the presence of colorectal cancer or polyps.

This definition is in context to Female Health Concerns. See more contextual defintions for Colonoscopy.
