Abstract
Today, in the diagnosis of large bowel diseases, several methods, often conducted by specialists of different sectors, are generally applied. Their technical features are constantly being improved and sometimes totally replaced by other newly designed techniques. If, on the one hand, this process favors an ever more accurate definition of the clinical picture, which is essential to establish better medical and surgical treatments, on the other hand, in order to achieve the best results, an adaptation to change is required, through adequate choices and a proper integration between the various types of examinations.
