A lower GI endoscopy is a diagnostic procedure used by your doctor to inspect the inside of your rectum and colon. While it's considered a surgical procedure, endoscopy does not involve an incision.
Instead, your doctor will pass a flexible tube, called an endoscope through your anus and into your rectum and colon.
This tube has a tiny video camera mounted on its tip.
It also contains a small tool used for taking tissue samples.
Your doctor can use the endoscope to inspect the entire lower half of your digestive system.
