  • Title: Left-sided colonoscopy in the office: a practical procedure.
    Author: Rosenberg I.
    Journal: Dis Colon Rectum; 1979 Sep; 22(6):396-8. PubMed ID: 498895.
    Abstract:
    Routine left-sided colonoscopy, instead of sigmoidoscopy, is a practical office measure. However, details of preparation and positioning of the patient are critical. The procedure has high productivity worth the added cost and effort. Cancer prevention is enhanced. Barium-enema examinations were found to have limited accuracy in polyp discovery, to a degree not previously appreciated.
