Colonoscopies are one of the most common procedures. They are also one of the safest procedures, despite their invasive nature. In fact, there are over 14 million colonoscopies performed each year and 98.4% of all colonoscopies result in no complications from the procedure. However, that does not mean that all colonoscopies are performed without an issue. The remaining 1.6% of 14 million colonoscopies means there are over 224,000 instances of complications. Some of these complications can be very serious and result in permanent injury or wrongful death. If you have suffered a complication after a colonoscopy, please call our Oregon colonoscopy medical malpractice lawyers to learn what your rights are and how we can protect them.
What is a Colonoscopy?
A colonoscopy is a common medical procedure which uses a long and flexible instrument to look inside of your colon. The purpose of a colonoscopy is to look for damage or signs of disease inside of the colon, including cancer, Krohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis, and other ailments of the colon and intestines. The instrument has a camera and other apparatus to take bioscopies, remove polyps, and repair damage or incisions. During a colonoscopy a physician will inflate the colon by using forced air. This reduces friction of the instrument as it snakes through your colon, but also allows for an easier examination of the colon.

This is dangerous because complications that occur would result in serious injuries or wrongful death. This is particularly because of an infection or sepsis, which are common when there is damage to the intestines, colon, or rectum.
Some of the most common colonoscopy errors due to substandard medical care and treatment in include the following:
