Colonoscopy provides an excellent view of the mucosal surface from the anal canal to the terminal ileum. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate colonoscopy results, indications, com- plications and the success of the procedure between January 2012 and July 2014 at the Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Unit at Selcuk University. Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis of medical charts and pathological re- sults of patients who underwent lower gastrointestinal system endoscopies during the period 2012-2014 was performed. Results: A total of 1500 pa- tients underwent colonoscopic examinations; 764 (50.9%) of the patients were male, 736 (49.1%) were female. Colonoscopic findings were as fol- lows: 48.4% of the patients had no pathology, 15% had hemorrhoids, 13.3% had polyps and 1.4% colorectal cancers. Colon cleansing was inadequate in 21.9% of patients presenting for colonoscopy. Conclusion: Approximately half of the patients had normal colonoscopic findings that suggests that the indications for colonoscopy were expanded. One in five patients had inade- quate colon cleansing which caused extra effort and costtrinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGastroenteroloji ve HepatolojiArticle231913
