Flexible fibreoptic sigmoidoscopy. Safe and effective for family practice.

Abstract

Flexible fibreoptic sigmoidoscopy can detect malignancy, polyps, and other common diseases of the large bowel when they are distal to the splenic flexure. The procedure is safe and not painful when correctly performed. Family physicians could play an important role in the earlier diagnosis and prevention of colorectal cancer by adding the procedure to their repertoire.
