Proctoscopy: A Procedure

To have the procedure done you will be lying on you back with your legs in stirrups. Then the doctor will insert a speculum into your vagina in the same way as for a pelvic exam. A local anesthesia will be used so you don’t feel pain. This will be given through a needle attached to a syringe. You are most likely going to feel a slight sting, then a dull ache or cramp. Then the loop is inserted into your vagina to the cervix. There will be different sizes and shapes of the loops that will be used. There is a small chance that you may feel faint during the procedure. If you do feel faint tell your doctor immediately.

| Visual examination of the abdominal cavity after making a small incision near a woman's navel and inserting an illuminated tube is called:

• A needle will be inserted into your arm to administer the IV contrast material.

He explained that the night before the procedure I would be expected to consume a colon cleansing agent. It would assure that he could get an intimate view of my innards. On that day he would insert a tube up my butt—a tube with a camera on the end. With it he would be able to take pictures of any proliferating polyps.

An upper endoscopy is known as an EGD and it is when a thin scope with a light and a camera at the end of it. This looks at the inside of the upper digestive tract which includes the esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine, called the duodenum. An EGD can be used to identify several causes such as abdominal or chest pain, nausea and vomiting, heartburn, bleeding, and swallowing problems. It can also help to find inflammation, ulcers, and tumors. The endoscope can also help treat abnormalities such as polyps which are growths of tissue in the stomach and these can be removed and biopsied to find out if they are cancerous. Also obstructions stuck in the esophagus can be removed and bleeding from ulcers, cancer can be treated with the endoscope.

Vaginal pessary is a plastic device which is designed to fits into the vagina in order to support the uterus, vagina, bladder or rectum. It is also one of the conservative treatment alternatives for pelvic organ prolapse. Besides that, these pessaries also offer a safe non-surgical option to prevent worsening of the pelvic organ prolapse. Study has shown that success rate of using pessaries for pelvic organ prolapse is between 56% and 89% at 2 to 3 months (Oliver et al., 2011). This device can be used whether temporarily or as a permanent therapy for those who are having pelvic organ prolapse.

Thus, if patients fill out the pre-Likert questionnaire for patient preference on a particular procedure, then a specific screening will be performed. The two screening tests that will be administered are 1) Traditional Optical Colonoscopy: an invasive screening procedure that examines the entire colon for signs of polyps and medical conditions such as adenomas, colorectal neoplasia etc. (de Wijkerslooth et al., 2010). 2) CT Colonography: a non-invasive screening procedure that examines the entire colon for signs of polyps and medical conditions such as adenomas, colorectal neoplasia etc. (de Wijkerslooth et al., 2010). There are some additional differences between these two. Sedation and biopsies can only be performed via the colonoscopy, and lesions located in other parts of the abdomen and pelvis can be found with CTC. Participants in the study will be further randomly selected and randomly assigned to four treatment groups which will be explained later in the

○ The end of the colon is brought to the opening. It is stitched to the skin.

Laparoscopy consists of inserting a flexible tube with a camera into the body, through which a doctor can look at the ovaries and other pelvic organs and tissues in the area. The tube is inserted through a small incision (cut) in the lower abdomen and projects images of the ovaries to a video monitor. Laparoscopy provides images of ovaries that help plan surgery or other treatments for Ovarian cancer; they can also help doctors confirm the stage (how far the tumor has spread) of the cancer. Doctors can manipulate small instruments through the laparoscopic incision(s) to perform biopsies.

A colonoscopy is a procedure performed by a medical professional which allows them to get a look at the inner-workings of your large intestine. The doctor will use a tube to take a close look at your colon and check for ulcers, tumors, or any unusual signs of inflammation. Is this procedure what it seems? Let's look at some things to consider before opting to have this test done.

Once the doctor or technician has positioned the probe in place, images of your internal tissues and organs will begin to appear on the screen.

Cystoscopy is a procedure that is used to help diagnose and sometimes treat conditions that affect that lower urinary tract. The lower urinary tract includes the bladder and the tube that drains urine from the bladder out of the body (urethra). Cystoscopy is performed with a thin, tube-shaped instrument with a light and camera at the end (cystoscope). The cystoscope may be hard (rigid) or flexible, depending on the goal of the procedure. The cystoscope is inserted through the urethra, into the bladder.

Bowel cancer can be detected using various techniques. The most common being colonoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy. Flexible sigmoidoscopy detects cancer in “the rectum and sigmoid colon and, at times, the descending colon.” Colonoscopy also focusses on these areas but can “permit inspection of the entire transverse and the right colon.”

• Endoscopy. This is a procedure to look into your stomach using a thin, flexible tube that has a tiny camera and light on the end of it.
