Abstract
The experience with 1464 examinations using the short flexible fiberoptic colonscope was evaluated. It evidently is the preferred instrument for endoscopy of the distal bowel. It apparently is superior to the rigid instrument in detection of polyps and early malignant disease of the distal descending and sigmoid colons. The flexible instrument is generally less uncomfortable for the patient, and is readily accepted as a routine part of a thorough colonic and rectal examination.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
