Abstract

Therapeutic colonoscopy has replaced or lessened the need or extent of traditional open surgical procedures. Commonly used therapeutic colonoscopies are including resection and ablation of benign and malignant disease, hemostasis, decompression and recanalization of obstructed or dilated bowel, as well as foreign body extraction. Because of the relatively high risk of complications of therapeutic colonoscopy compared to diagnostic colonoscopy, certain prerequisites should be met before the procedure for a successful and safe therapeutic colonoscopies. First, in terms of patients, sufficient explanation and gaining informed consents in essential. In addition, the patient’s concurrent medication and general health condition should be checked. Furthermore, proper sedative and bowel-cleansing agents should be carefully selected for each individual patient. Second, a colonoscopist should be proficient in therapeutic colonoscopic procedures and well trained assistant including nurses are necessary. Third, the proper systems and instruments including supplies for emergencies should be prepared.
