Introduction:
The practicability and quality of colonoscopy in outclinic procedures are sometimes discussed.
Materials And Methods:
In this paper, two hundred consecutive colonoscopies, performed as surgical outclinic procedures, are discussed and procedures and set-up are reviewed. Registrated parameters are: age, sex, quality of bowel preparation, coecal intubation, VAS-score concerning unpleasantness during examination and bowel preparation, use of sedation, surgical procedures, management of patients following incomplete colonoscopy.
Results:
Intubation rate to coecum was 89%. Sedation was used in 3%. Meantime for coecal intubation was 22.5 minutes. 95% of the patients were discharged without involving hospital facilities.
Conclusion:
Conscious, unsedated colonoscopy can be a gentle procedure, extremely egliable as an outpatient procedure.
