Sigmoidoscopy

Sigmoidoscopy is a short colonoscopic examination that advances through the last 60 centimeters of the large intestine. The procedure is intended to diagnose and treat various diseases relevant to this region. It is performed by inserting an endoscope equipped with an advanced, high-resolution optical camera. The camera transmits images to Dr. Vosko's monitor, allowing him to closely follow the findings and guide the endoscope as needed. This examination is particularly relevant for rectal bleeding, changes in bowel habits, inflammatory bowel disease monitoring, and more.
The procedure enables the early detection of tumors. The length of the examination is relatively short and should not take more than 15 minutes.
