  • Title: Second-generation video sigmoidoscopy.
    Author: Rodney WM, Ounanian LL, Werblun MN.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1985 Mar; 31(3):127-32. PubMed ID: 3976455.
    Abstract:
    A newly developed 60-cm video sigmoidoscope has no image bundle or eyepiece. During scope manipulation, the instrument provides a real-time color endoscopic image on a video monitor as well as a permanent videotape record of the procedure. In a series of examinations performed by residents in family medicine, no complications occurred and patient acceptance was good. Consultations can be obtained using the videotapes. The video recording format overcomes many of the teaching limitations of conventional fiberoptic sigmoidoscopy and may play a role in documentation of procedures as well as certification of competence.
