Comfortable atmosphere puts patient at ease during colonoscopy procedureDavid was due for his colonoscopy screening. His general practitioner referred him to Dr. Nasser Alqassam, a board-certified internal medicine physician for his colonoscopy procedure. David’s screening would take place at Southern New Mexico Surgery Center on an outpatient basis. What is a colonoscopy?A colonoscopy screening allows the doctor to carefully examine the lining of the colon. The colonoscope is a long, flexible tube that is approximately the thickness of a finger. It is inserted through the rectum into the large intestine (colon) and allows the doctor to carefully examine the lining of the colon. Abnormalities of the colon can be seen in great detail. If the physician sees a suspicious area or needs to evaluate an area of inflammation in greater detail, he can pass an instrument through the colonoscope and take a small piece of tissue (biopsy) for examination in the laboratory. Biopsies are taken for many reasons and do not necessarily mean that cancer is suspected. Click here to read more about David's experience with Dr. Alqassam at Southern New Mexico Surgery Center.
