Colonoscopy for Post-Surgery Colon Examination

The provider examines the portion of the colon that remains after a colon removal procedure using a colonoscope, a tubular instrument with a light source and camera. The provider inserts the scope through a previously placed colostomy stoma, the opening on the skin of a surgically created passageway into the colon. The provider looks for signs of recurrent disease, such as cancer. The provider takes samples of any suspicious tissue by brushing or washing the area to collect cells for laboratory analysis.
