Early detection of colon cancer is imperative for a good prognosis. Family physicians are therefore becoming the front line of defense in the fight against colorectal malignancy. Many family physicians are incorporating colonoscopy into their practices in an attempt to avoid costly referrals and loss of continuity of care. While the complication rate for colonoscopy is extremely low, any physician who performs colonoscopy must be fully aware of all possible complications and their management.
早期发现结肠癌对于良好的预后至关重要。因此，家庭医生正成为抗击结直肠癌的第一道防线。许多家庭医生将结肠镜检查纳入他们的诊疗工作中，以避免代价高昂的转诊以及护理连续性的丧失。虽然结肠镜检查的并发症发生率极低，但任何进行结肠镜检查的医生都必须充分了解所有可能的并发症及其处理方法。
