• Colonoscopy
  Colonoscopy allows a physician to examine the large intestine for polyps, cancer, inflammation, and other conditions. The procedure itself takes about 20 to 60 minutes, with the entire outpatient visit typically lasting about 1.5 to 2 hours if done at the Green Mountain Surgery Center, and about 3 hours if done at the University of Vermont Medical Center. Since most colon cancers start out as polyps, a colonoscopy is an effective way to prevent cancer.

• Gastroenterology
• Colon Cancer
  The colonoscope, a long flexible tube with a tiny video camera at the tip, is inserted into the rectum and directed through the large intestine. During the procedure, the physician is able to view the entire length of the large intestine. If any polyps (abnormal growths) are discovered, the doctor will usually remove them at the time of colonoscopy. Conditions such as crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, colon cancer, and diverticulosis can be diagnosed. Patients do not feel gastrointestinal biopsies or the removal of polyps.
• Endoscopy
  Upper Endoscopy, also known as esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) allows a physician to examine the lining of the esophagus, stomach and upper small intestine with an endoscope (a lighted, flexible tube with a camera attached). An EGD can be used to diagnose, and sometimes treat problems associated with acid reflux, difficulty swallowing, ulcers, abnormal growths, obstructions, inflammation, celiac disease and hiatal hernia.
