Sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy, and even esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), are fancy words for different kinds of endoscopy. The –oscopy ending means you’re using a scope to look at something. And then the prefix of the word is what you’re looking.
So colonoscopy is a longer scope, and it can look all the way around the colon, which is about 6 feet long. In many cases, we can get through the little valve that connects your small bowel to your large bowel, down by your appendix, and also get a sneak preview at the very end of your small bowel. We do this to evaluate symptoms and to check for polyps or cancer.
