MORNING PROCEDURE
If you are over 80 years of age, or have severe liver/kidney/heart condition, you need to contact our office for special instructions.
Bowel preparation is a very important part of Colonoscopic Examination. Good bowel preparation allows your Doctor to carefully and thoroughly look for and safely remove small polyps / lesions that if not picked up, could enlarge overtime. In some cases, with large amounts of faecal material still in the colon at the time of the examination, your Doctor may have to abandon the procedure if it is unsafe to continue.
