Specifically, pancoloscopy allows us to visualize the internal walls of the large intestine in all its sections, until reaching, when possible, the last section of the small intestine.
In the same way as colonoscopy, the examination involves the introduction, through the anal orifice, of a video endoscope, which is made to rise slowly through the loops of the intestine; the substantial difference lies in the size of the probe, which is longer and more flexible in pancoloscopy.
The procedure is therefore aimed at investigating intestinal pathologies, from chronic inflammatory diseases to tumors. In addition to providing diagnostic support, pancoloscopy can also be used to remove lesions (such as intestinal polyps) and / or take samples. of fabric.
