    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Medical Devices
    • Endoscopy

    Background:

    • Conventional fiberoptic sigmoidoscopy has limitations in teaching and documentation.
    • Traditional scopes require direct visualization through an eyepiece, posing challenges for real-time feedback and recording.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a newly developed 60-cm video sigmoidoscope.
    • To assess its utility in resident training, patient acceptance, and procedural documentation.

    Main Methods:

    • A 60-cm video sigmoidoscope without an image bundle or eyepiece was used.
    • Examinations were performed by family medicine residents.
    • Real-time color endoscopic images were displayed on a video monitor, and procedures were videotaped.
