Due to the high diagnostic accuracy, colonoscopy allows timely detection and removal of both precancerous changes in the mucous membrane (polyps) and malignant changes in the early stages of the disease (the so-called "early cancer").

During colonoscopy, other changes in the mucous membrane can be diagnosed, such as inflammatory processes, erosive and ulcerative lesions, and neoplasms. As part of colorectal cancer screening, colonoscopy is recommended for patients over 45 years of age (even if there are no complaints). It is also important for people who have a hereditary predisposition to colon cancer to undergo this procedure.

The procedure is performed through natural pathways, without requiring incisions or long-term recovery.

Therapeutic possibilities

You can not only diagnose, but also immediately fix some problems.

Comfort

Colonoscopy "in a dream" is painless for the patient.

Accurate diagnosis

The possibility of a detailed visual assessment of the mucous membrane of the colon and a targeted biopsy of a pathologically altered area.

Safety

Continuous anesthetic monitoring throughout the study.

Useful information

Adenoids

Adenoids are an accumulation of lymphoepithelial tissue located in the dome of the nasopharynx (nasopharyngeal tonsil). Adenoids are part of the lymphoepithelial ring, consisting of six tonsils, which plays a key role in protecting the body from infections.

Chronic sinusitis

Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the paranasal sinuses, which lasts more than 12 weeks. The condition causes prolonged nasal congestion, which may be accompanied by nasal discharge or pass without it. Headaches and a feeling of pressure in the affected sinus area are also possible.

Volumetric formations of the nasopharynx

Pathological changes in nasopharyngeal tissues, including benign nasopharyngeal tumors such as polyps, cysts, adenomas and angiofibromas, can significantly affect breathing, hearing and sense of smell. Malignant tumors of the nasopharynx also pose a serious threat to health.

Thornwald's Bag

This is a benign congenital cyst-like formation that is located on the back wall of the nasopharynx.

Curvature of the nasal septum

This is a deviation of the nasal septum from the midline, which can cause difficulty in nasal breathing and contribute to the development of chronic diseases of the nose and paranasal sinuses.

Olecranon fractures

Olecranon has little or no muscle or other soft tissue protection, making it vulnerable to damage from falls and impacts. The olecranon is the most prominent of the bones forming the elbow joint, specifically the ulna. It attaches to the triceps and, along with the humerus, constitutes the elbow joint, which is responsible for bending and extending the arm. Olecranon fractures vary in complexity. They can be simple, with no displacement of bone fragments, or complex, with damage to the articular surface of the ulna and displacement of fragments by triceps traction. Such fractures cause a loss of extension in the elbow joint, resulting from the disruption of the triceps' connection with the forearm.

Detection of polyps

The ability to detect and remove polyps before they can develop into cancer.

Relief of symptoms

Removing obstacles, such as large polyps, can immediately improve the patient's well-being.

Prevention of colon cancer

Regular colonoscopy reduces the risk of colorectal cancer.
