Reply to "Ileoscopy prep question"

Unless you’re having issues this would normally be called a pouchoscopy. The scope can be pushed past the pouch into the ileum, and that might be called an ileoscopy. Since the pouch is also constructed out of ileum, some practices might also call a pouchoscopy an ileoscopy. In any case, the prep is probably excessive. The staff might not know what a pouchoscopy is, so there’s no easy way to communicate with them about your prep. Anyone who thinks you have a colon has no useful guidance for you. Hopefully you can get your doctor on the phone. Most of us do a pretty easy prep, for example: clear liquids the day before, tap water enemas until clear on the morning of the procedure.
