Abstract: Study’s object: Colonoscopy is a procedure that used largely, in assessment, screening & management of lower
gastrointestinal disease. Some of these diseases that assessed are colorectal cancer, polyps & inflammatory bowel disease. The
goal of this study is determining of frequency of lower GI disease among patient who have elective colonoscopy. This cross-sectional
study was conducted retrospective. Samples collected from the census method of colonoscopy patients in Razi hospital, from March
21th in 2006 to March 20th in 2009. Patients' data including age, sex, location and type of lesion found by colonoscopy and pathology
diagnosis were collected and at the end necessary information collected into the SPSS software (version 16) for analyzing with the help
of statistical tests Chi-square. Significant findings: Of 1398 patients, 683 patients (48/8 %) were male and 715 (51/2 %) were female
494 patients (35/3%) had normal results. Hemorrhoids (22/6 %) and polyps (14/8 %) were the most abundant lesions discovered by
colonoscopy. The most common site of lesions among patients with abnormal colonoscopy findings, were anal canal and anus (43/8
%) and rectosigmoid (26%). The findings in both males and females, revealed no statistical differences. Conclusion: Colonoscopic
detection of hemorrhoids is a common finding in patient undergone colonoscopy. The most frequent site for lesions which found in
anal canal and anus. In addition to, normal findings had a high rate and it indicates that unnecessary colonoscopy have been required
by physicians. (IJCEM1206001).
