Abstract
Background and Aims: Currently, colonoscopy is the gold standard to de- termine colorectal pathologies. Colonoscopy provides an excellent view of the mucosal surface from the anal canal to the terminal ileum. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate colonoscopy results, indications, com- plications and the success of the procedure between January 2012 and July 2014 at the Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Unit at Selcuk University. Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis of medical charts and pathological re- sults of patients who underwent lower gastrointestinal system endoscopies during the period 2012-2014 was performed. Results: A total of 1500 pa- tients underwent colonoscopic examinations; 764 (50.9%) of the patients were male, 736 (49.1%) were female. Colonoscopic findings were as fol- lows: 48.4% of the patients had no pathology, 15% had hemorrhoids, 13.3% had polyps and 1.4% colorectal cancers. Colon cleansing was inadequate in 21.9% of patients presenting for colonoscopy. Conclusion: Approximately half of the patients had normal colonoscopic findings that suggests that the indications for colonoscopy were expanded. One in five patients had inade- quate colon cleansing which caused extra effort and cost
Özet
Bu çalışmadaki amacımız, merkezimizde yapılan kolonoskopilerde; (I) işlem isteme endikasyonlarının, (II) işlemin tamamlanma sıklığı ve tamamlanmasını engelleyen nedenlerin, (III) işlemle ilgili komplikasyonların analizi yanında, kolonoskopide tespit edilen (IV) patolojiler ve bunların makroskopik ve histopatolojik tanılarının retrospektif olarak analiz edilmesidir.GEREÇ ve YÖNTEMBu çalışmamızın sonucunda kolonoskopi endikasyonlarının geniş tutulduğu, ayrıca kolon temizliğinin yaklaşık beş hastanın birinde yetersiz olduğu, bunun da ikinci bir iş yükü ve maliyet getirdiği tespit edilmiştir
