Adequate bowel preparation is important for the efficacy of the procedure. As there is a lack of published data on colonoscopy preparation and findings in the Maldives, this study was conducted to share the single-center experience. \u0000Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective observational preliminary study carried out in the endoscopy center at ADK hospital, Maldives from April 2017 to March 2020. All patients were evaluated as per pre-designed Pro-forma. The procedure was performed after a pre-anesthetic check-up with intravenous sedation after bowel preparation as protocol. Findings were noted and Biopsies were taken as per need and sent for histopathologic examination. \u0000Results: Out of 129 patients who underwent lower gastrointestinal endoscopy, only 98 were included for the study analysis. Among them, 44% of patients were male and 56% were female. Young adults were more involved in the procedure. Bowel preparation was poor in the majority (52%). Bleeding per rectum was the most common indication (40%) and hemorrhoids were the most frequent finding (52%). In 86% of patients, colonoscopy was complete up to cecum with the majority of them up to terminal ileum. \u0000Conclusion: Per rectal bleeding was the most common indication for colonoscopy and hemorrhoids were the most common findings. Despite poor bowel preparation due to the lack of a standard cleansing regimen, the yield of the procedure was yet satisfactory.","PeriodicalId":52824,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nobel Medical College","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44285724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
