Colonoscopy
I had an incomplete colonoscopy today. This is the second incomplete colonoscopy since radiation. They used the pediatric scope but they could not get thru the first bend.
Has this happened to anyone else?
if so what procedure did they recommend to view the rest.
I have a history of precancerous polyps.

I'm sorry this has happened to you again. I have had several colonoscopies--probably 5--since June 2008 and this has never happened to me. I'm wondering if a virtual colonoscopy would be doable for you. That's where you swallow a very small camera that travels through the entire digestive system. I'm not sure what other tests might provide the same look as a colonoscopy. Please let us know what your doctor has to say.

i have a vague recollection of there being a ct colonoscopy, so nothing inserted, not invasive, less risk. I hope I have imagined it........

I too have heard of a combination MRI/CT colonoscopy but believe if something is questionable needs to be followed by usual means so not sure of its worth.
