Abstract
The advent of optical colonoscopy has enabled gastroenterologists to visualize the colonic mucosa. This procedure has since become the cornerstone of colon cancer screening programs. Clinicians and scientists have made great strides to fine-tune the technical aspects of this procedure and have also made important advances that allow for a more effective and safer colonoscopy. This article focuses on current research and expert opinion regarding colonoscopy preparation, premedication and sedation.Entities:
