Dr. Janet Wilczak, MD's Expert Contributions
Can you have a colonoscopy without anesthesia?
It is possible to have a colonoscopy without anesthesia. It is much more comfortable for you when sedate. Ask your endoscopist if it may influence his/her ability to obtain the same information during the exam asleep versus awake. That is an important question. It is a risk benefit question for anesthesia depending on your preoperative risk factors as well. Speak with your doctors to obtain the best answer.
