The colon biopsies are done through colonoscopy . Yes, they will give you anesthesia. Most likely propofol which is a medical that right after the anesthesiology stop the medication you start awaking up. Normally there is no side effects. But you have to talk to your Dr. who is doing the procedure.
Conscious sedation.
No.
