Ah, but does it require the same prep? The scoping itself is a non-event to the scopee who is blissfully sedated. But the prep! Holy mother of pearl, memories of choking down a handful of tablets with a couple of glasses of water every few hours, virtually tethered to the bathroom, it takes a supreme effort to do this the third or fourth time. And only after the fact did I learn the small miracle of Desitin.

And if the virtual scoping discovers something, does not one need to do the prep a second time for the non-virtual search-and-destroy scoping?

I believe both are so.
