Rectoscopy and Rectosigmoidoscopy

This procedure can be performed both with the colonoscopy device mentioned above and with a device in the form of a metal tube of 30 cm. As it takes shorter, this device may be preferred in children over 10 years of age, especially when the examination of the last 20-30 cm part of large intestine is required. As it can be performed by cleaning the last part of large intestine with only a medication (enema) applied through anus, without general colon cleansing, it is advantageous that it can be performed on the same day. Biopsy is also performed in this procedure when needed. The patient may be allowed to leave immediately after the procedure.
