During the procedure we look for any abnormalities such as redness, irritation or polyps. To complete the procedure successfully, the bowel must be clean so that the physician can clearly view the colon. It is very important that you read and follow all of the instructions given to you for your bowel preparation well in advance of the procedure. Without proper preparation, the colonoscopy will not be successful and the test may have to be repeated.
