How is colonoscopy performed?
Before the test
You will need to clean out your colon. One to two days before a colonoscopy, our surgeons will instruct you to:
- Adopt a restricted diet low in fibre
- Consume prescription laxative solution that will result in mechanical cleansing of the entire colon
- Drink plenty of clear fluids to prevent dehydration
* You will receive a detailed instruction sheet on these points prior to your procedure
During the test
An intravenous (IV) sedative will be administered to you to help you to relax and fall into light sleep during the test. Air is used to gently inflate the colon as the colonoscope is introduced.
This facilitates the thorough evaluation of the colonic wall. Instruments can be introduced through the colonoscope to allow the surgeon to take biopsies, remove polyps, mark the sites and apply clips.
*You may feel the need to have a bowel movement while the scope is in your colon. You may also feel some cramping. Breathe deeply and slowly through your mouth to relax. This should help the cramping”.
After the test, you can expect to stay at the endoscopy centre for 1 to 2 hours prior to being discharged.
If you have received a sedative, do not drive, operate machinery, or sign legal documents for 24 hours after the test. Arrange to have someone drive you home.

What is Colorectal Cancer Screening?
These screening methods refers to a range of tests and procedures aimed at identifying abnormalities in the colon or rectum that may indicate the presence of colorectal cancer or pre-cancerous conditions.

Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT)
This test detects blood in the stool, one of the signs of colorectal cancer or polyps. It involves collecting stool samples and sending them to a laboratory for analysis.
-
Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT)
Similar to FOBT, FIT detects blood in the stool but is more specific to human blood and does not require dietary restrictions.
-
Stool DNA Test (sDNA)
This test looks for specific DNA changes in stool samples associated with colorectal cancer or polyps.
-
Flexible Sigmoidoscopy
A procedure that involves examining the lower section of the colon and rectum using a flexible tube with a camera attached.
-
Virtual Colonoscopy (CT Colonography)
A non-invasive imaging test that uses computed tomography (CT) scans to create detailed images of the colon and rectum.
