Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy is an effective way of diagnosing bowel conditions or removing polyps. It is a camera test that allows direct visualisation of the inside of the large bowel (colon), and the end of the small bowel (terminal ileum).

A gastroscopy is a camera test we undertake in order to visualise your oesophagus, stomach and duodenum (the first part of the small bowel). It can also be called an upper GI endoscopy, or an OGD (oesophagogastroduodenoscopy).
