Proctoscopy: A Procedure

Sterilize and prepare the patient's genital area. You have wipe the patient's genital area with disinfectant soaked cotton swabs, to remove any debris. Repeat step if needed. For female patients, be sure to clean the labia and urethral meatus (the outside of the opening of the urethra located above the vagina). For the men clean the urethral opening on the penis. When you finish wiping down the patient, lay down surgical drapes around the genitals, leaving yourself enough work

Rectal medications are absorbed very quickly. Suppositories are available and are given into the rectum. Pessaries are given into the vagina.

| Examination of the vaginal and cervical surfaces with a special magnifying instrument is called a ________scopy.

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.

Some colon preps are taken in the evening before the test and some might be a prescription laxative or a solution such as Nutytely or Golytely that you drink. During this prep it is important to stay at home and near a bathroom because it causes loose, frequent stools and diarrhea so everything will be emptied out. In the procedure a thin, flexible tube that is about 48 inches to 72 inches long with a small video camera attached is inserted through the rectum into the colon, small and large intestine. The camera takes pictures of anything the doctor thinks is important to further investigate. During the procedure it is very common to have air escape from the rectum and after the procedure it is important to continue letting the air out so your stomach does not hurt later. After the procedure you go to the recovery room for about 30 minutes and it is best not to drive home afterwards due to being under sedation. You can drink whatever you want after because it is import to get plenty of fluids but do not drink

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.

These tests include: Abdominal Exploration, CT of the Abdomen and Pelvis, Fecal Occult Blood Test and Fecal Immunochemical Test, Lower GI series, and

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

• 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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.
