Abstract:Methods are reported by which probes can be introduced into all parts of the colon. Thus segments of the large bowel previously not accessible to bioptic and endoscopic procedures can be examined. According to our own experience and in coincidence with results of other authors intestinal intubation represents a practical method of low risk to allow probing of the proximal colon. With the aid of intestinal intubation endoscopy of the large bowel by full-flexible fiberscopes can be performed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
