Abstract :Purpose: It was aimed to convey the experiences of endoscopy performed by a single surgeon in a district hospital. Material and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 784 patients who underwent endoscopic procedures by the same surgeon between February 2015 and February 2018 in the general surgery endoscopy unit of Çorum Alaca State Hospital. Results: Endoscopy (upper GIS endoscopy) was performed in 585 of 784 cases included in the study, and colonoscopy (lower GIS endoscopy) was performed in 199 of them. Of the patients who underwent endoscopy, 407 were female patients. The mean age was 37.2. There were 178 male patients, and the mean age was 50.3. 100 of the patients who underwent colonoscopy were female, and the mean age was 54.1. There were 99 male patients, and the mean age was 54.1 years. Conclusion: Bringing endoscopy and colonoscopy to the medical world is a groundbreaking change in health. These processes are special processes and the necessary care and sensitivity should be shown at the highest level. With correct evaluation and correct treatment protocols, very successful results can be obtained in endoscopically detected pathologies.Keywords : Endoscopy, Colonoscopy, Rectoscopy, Rectosigmoidoscopy
