Service Providers for Video Procto-sigmoidscopy (R)
A Video Procto-sigmoidoscopy (R) is a procedure where a flexible tube with a camera (sigmoidoscope) is used to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon (the lower part of the colon). It helps detect abnormalities such as polyps, inflammation, or bleeding. The procedure involves minimal preparation, typically including fasting and possibly using an enema to clear the bowel. It is less invasive than a full colonoscopy and typically involves fewer risks, though complications such as bleeding or perforation can occur. Afterward, patients may experience mild cramping or bloating. Results are usually provided quickly, and biopsies may be taken if necessary for further analysis.
