    A colonoscopy, the examination of the colon and rectum, is an out-patient procedure that begins with the injection of a sedative and features the use of a fiber optic camera mounted on a long, flexible tube that allows the doctor to examine the entire length of the colon. The actual procedure takes 30 to 60 minutes to complete. After the screening, you will be placed in a recovery area for 1 to 2 hours.
