For short procedures, such as colonoscopies and cystoscopies, patients are generally awake within a few minutes after the procedure is completed and are ready to leave the office within 20 to 30 minutes. Patients can be easily moved to another room to complete their recovery as soon as they awaken in order to facilitate rapid room turnover.
