[1st experience with the use of a flexible fiber endoscope]
Abstract:
X-ray examinations as a basic method of recognizing pathological processes in the descending segments of the intestinal tract do not always make it possible to ascertain the nature of the affection. An effective diagnostic method is endoscopy that can be implemented with the help of the Soviet-made flexible fibre endoscope, model CBO-1. The device is reliable in operation, easy and convenient to handle and allows it to examine not only the sigmoid flexure, but the descending segment of the large intestine as well.
