Colonoscopy

Bergein F. Overholt M.D.1

1 Chief, Section of Gastroenterology, Saint Mary's Memorial Hospital and Associate Clinical Professor, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee.

Unquestionably, colonoscopy is a significant advance in the diagnosis and management of colon and rectum disease. Despite its proven effectiveness, facilities for training colonoscopists are grossly inadequate. Hopefully, funding will become available for establishing colonoscopy training centers throughout the United States. Once adequate numbers of colonoscopists become available, improvement in the survival rate of patients with cancer and other diseases of the colon will certainly occur.
