Complications?

Which are the common and typical complications (perforation, infection, bleeding, radiation induced carcinomas?) and what are the incidation rates? --85.127.193.170 (talk) 18:30, 6 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

10 mm?

edit

Can anyone find wide support for today's anonymous edit that changed "2 mm" to "10 mm"? It's not my field, so I don't want to weigh in, but this contradicts everything I've read. - Dan Dank55 (talk)(mistakes) 19:12, 9 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

A couple of papers supporting the null hypothesis of "no significant difference between optical colonoscopy and VC in ability to detect neoplasia" from the New England Journal of Medicine:
Roughly 100 more papers can be found at http://www.viatronix.com/Media_Center_articles.asp, which is a biased source, but the articles listed there are peer-reviewed. - Dan Dank55 (talk)(mistakes) 22:22, 9 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
