Colonoscopy Report Template

A colonoscopy report is only as useful as its quality details: how good the bowel preparation was, whether the caecum was reached, how long the withdrawal took and exactly what was removed. This template puts those fields in front of you alongside the rectum, colon and terminal ileum findings.
