Abstract
More than 14 million colonoscopies are performed in the USA annually [1]. It is one of the most important diagnostic modalities in coloproctology, providing direct visualization of the entire colonic mucosa, histological specimens through biopsies and allowing therapeutic manipulations such as polypectomy.
