- Abstract:
- Ileocolonoscopy including biopsies is the first line investigation in suspected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In up to 90 % of the cases ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are differentiated on endoscopic presentation. Standardised reporting of endoscopic results increases the validity and comparability of IBD findings. When there is a firm diagnosis of IBD, colonoscopy should only be performed for specific questions. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is only indicated in patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms. Push and capsule endoscopy should also be limited to specific questions and situations. IBD with extended colitis is associated with an increased risk for colorectal cancer. Endoscopic surveillance with accurate biopsy sampling is a valuable tool for the prevention of colorectal cancer.
