Colposcopy in anorectal disease.

J J O'Connor

    Southern Medical Journal
    |December 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Colposcopy, a technique from gynecology, is now used in colon and rectal surgery to evaluate anal and perianal conditions. This method aids in diagnosing issues like pruritus ani, condyloma, and unexplained bleeding.

    Area of Science:

    • Colorectal Surgery
    • Gynecologic Techniques in Proctology

    Background:

    • The colposcope, a standard tool in gynecology, offers magnified visualization.
    • Its application in colon and rectal surgery is explored for evaluating anal and perianal conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the utility of standard gynecologic colposcopy techniques in the evaluation of anal and perianal diseases within a surgical context.

    Main Methods:

    • Standard colposcopic examination techniques, as used in gynecology, were adapted.
    • The procedure was applied for the assessment of various anal and perianal pathologies.

    Main Results:

    • Colposcopy proved useful for evaluating conditions such as pruritus ani and condyloma.
    • It also facilitated the assessment of mass lesions, unexplained bleeding or pain, and post-treatment follow-up for anal carcinoma.

    Conclusions:

    • Colposcopy is a valuable diagnostic tool for anal and perianal disease evaluation in colorectal surgery.
    • Its established gynecologic techniques are transferable and beneficial in this surgical subspecialty.
