A member asked:
What does the gi doctor see when performing a colonoscopy? can he not see the appendix too sense it looks like it is attached to everything?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Colonoscopy.: What the gastroenterologist sees during colonoscopy is the inside of the colon. It is possible to see the area of attachment of the appendix to the colon, but it is not possible to see the appendix itself. Good luck.
