A colonoscopy biopsy is a procedure where a doctor uses a long, flexible tube with a camera to look inside your large bowel and remove small tissue samples for laboratory testing. Your doctor might recommend this procedure if they need to investigate unusual findings like polyps, inflammation, bleeding, or other concerns seen during a colonoscopy exam. During the procedure, you'll be sedated for comfort, and the doctor will gently pass the tube through your colon to locate and collect the tissue samples, which typically takes 15-45 minutes.
