Colonoscopy is a medical procedure that allows a clinician to look inside the large intestine (colon) and rectum. It uses a thin, flexible camera (a colonoscope) to view the lining of the bowel in real time. It is commonly used in cancer screening and in the evaluation of symptoms such as bleeding or unexplained anemia. It can also be used to take biopsies and remove certain growths during the same exam.
