These surgical proctoscopes offer the specialist the opportunity of clearly exposing a portion of the anal canal and rectal ampulla through which anorectal procedures may be performed.
The instrument should be well lubricated and introduced slowly into the anal canal, controlled by the graduation. Rotating the scope in situ may cause torsion of the anal canal mucosa, so it is recommended that to change orientation the instrument is extracted, rotated and then reinserted. The operative site can then be identified and the procedure performed.
