What If I Need to Have a Flexible Sigmoidoscopy or Colonoscopy?

A Flexible Sigmoidoscopy is where the Consultant will look into your sigmoid colon using a thin telescope called an endoscope. A Colonoscopy is where the Consultant will into your large bowel (colon). This is a usually done in the endoscopy room as an out-patients procedure. You are awake during this procedure, although some light anaesthetic will be used locally during a colonoscopy.

To arrange this procedure you will be asked to contact Emma (0117 317 1305), who can discuss this procedure with you in more detail and arrange a convenient time and date.
