“…Various devices such as "the alpha loop maneuver (6)" and "pull the scope method (5)" have been introduced to accomplish a deep colonic intubation via the anus. A stiffening wire (1) and an external sheath (2,3,4) have been devised as the accessory cquipments and these have been introduced to facilitate the deep insertion of the coloscope.…”

With a long sliding tube, it is easy to insert a coloscope into the ileocecal area. The long sliding tube holds the transverse colon in an ideal raised shape (convex curve) as well as the sigmoid colon straight. Inserting and drawing of a scope can be done through the long sliding tube. Therefore, it is possible to remove multiple polyps excised by polypectomy and replace a colonoscope by intestinoscope, magnifying endoscope and another coloscope with good image through this tube. The advantage of using a long sliding tube as proved in actual performances on patients.

“…Subsequent studies were done using the same principles of inserting the gastroscope and esophagoscope either with or without a guideline from above. [25][26][27] The instruments were flexible; however, the tip mobilization was limited, preventing the passage of the scope around the colon curves. It soon became evident that successful colonoscopy was much more demanding than examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract.…”

“…The technique developed by Fox and Kreel (Fox, 1969) are inserted through the tube until they protude at the end hole for taking mucosal specimens or viewing the mucosa. During colonoscopy or biopsy the colon tube remains in place so that the biopsy capsule can be reinserted for taking multiple specimens (up to ten pieces having been taken from one patient at one session) or the fibrescope can be removed for cleaning of the lens and reintroduced without the problem of a further retrograde intubation.…”
