Video Proctoscopy
Video Proctoscopy
Video proctoscopy is a modern diagnostic procedure used to examine the anal canal and rectum with the help of a high-resolution camera. A thin, specialized instrument called a proctoscope is gently inserted into the rectum, allowing the doctor to clearly view internal tissues on a screen in real time.
This advanced technique helps in accurate diagnosis of anorectal conditions such as piles, fissures, fistula, and other rectal disorders, ensuring the right treatment plan is provided.
