Colonoscopy-Assisted Surgery is a minimally invasive procedure where colonoscopy is used as a guide to assist in surgeries such as polyp removal, treatment of early-stage colorectal cancers, or biopsies. The use of colonoscopy allows for a more precise and less invasive approach to colorectal surgeries.

During colonoscopy-assisted surgery, the surgeon uses the colonoscope to visualize the colon and guide the placement of surgical tools. This allows for the removal of polyps or small tumors without the need for large incisions, reducing recovery times and minimizing scarring.

Postoperative care typically includes monitoring for any complications, such as bleeding, and managing pain. Most patients experience a faster recovery compared to traditional surgery and are able to resume normal activities within a few days.

Colonoscopy-assisted surgery is a valuable tool in the early detection and treatment of colorectal cancer and other colorectal conditions, offering patients less invasive treatment options and quicker recovery times.
