Not needed in the majority of cases unless your doctor deems it required
An simple uncomplicated colon biopsy should be an outpatient procedure in a patient with a virgin abdomen.
No, colonoscopy is usually done as an outpatient procedure. There is no need for an overnight stay in the hospital. They will put you to sleep by giving you sedation. You will be put under deep sedation to general anesthesia. Immediately after the procedure they will take you to the recovery room until you are completely awake. Make sure you have someone will drive you back home. Thank you.
