Colonoscopy Procedures in Chaska or Edina, MN

A colonoscopy is a procedure that involves the use of a colonoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera and a source of light at its tip) to examine the inside of the colon (large intenstine or large bowel). Most often it is done to investigate the cause of blood in the stool, abdominal pain, diarrhea, a change in bowel habit, or an abnormality found on colon X-rays or CT scans.
