Studio del cilindro colico fino al cieco. (sorry thats all I have)
Cieco I am assuming is the caecum, I just don't know how i would translate cilindro colico.

Thanks for any suggestions

English translation:study of the (entire) colon to the caecum
Explanation:
...generally, colonoscopy is made to visualise the entire colon to the caecum;
I suppose that "cilindro colico" is just a way to describe the cylindrical shape of the colon, but IMO it seems redundant when translating: writing "entire colon" (or just colon) should be enough.
