Patient Prep for Colonoscopy
A patient's preparation for an upcoming colonoscopy is very important to the overall success of the procedure. Proper preparation ensures that the doctor is able to get the best possible look at your colon and is able to easily detect any polyps, lesions or other abnormalities that may be present. If the doctor is unable to get a good view, it may be necessary to repeat or reschedule the colonoscopy.
Preparation instructions vary depending on the individual procedure and when the procedure will take place. Your doctor's office will share information about the preparation details. You can also review the details on our patient education page. Scroll down to Diagnostic Tests / Endoscopy for a complete list of bowel prep instructions.
