Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy
A Colonoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure that allows doctors to examine the inner lining of the large intestine (colon and rectum) using a flexible tube with a tiny camera called a colonoscope.
It helps detect abnormalities such as polyps, ulcers, tumors, or inflammation that may indicate conditions like colorectal cancer or inflammatory bowel disease. The test is usually performed under mild sedation for patient comfort.
At Medicover Hospital, Dr. Akshay Kulkarni ensures a comfortable, safe, and precise procedure using advanced technology for accurate diagnosis and early detection of gastrointestinal conditions.
