Abstract


Introduction:  Colonoscopy being an important approach for workup and screening has been used for identification of colonic disease and documenting histopathology. The study was done to know the variation of colorectal disease from Jan 2013 to Dec 2014.

Materials and Methods: 458 patients were included and flexible colonoscope was used for the study.

Results and Conclusion: The study yield was although low but the outcomes helped the clinician for better management and good patient appraisal. This modality should be a part of an early workup for diagnosis and routine screening purpose.
