A total of 160 strictures were examined in 154 patients with the fibreoptic colonoscope. When it was possible to make a pre-examination diagnosis colonoscopy proved it wrong in 52% of cases. Unnecessary laparotomy was probably avoided in over half this series. All strictures of the large bowel should be examined colonoscopially whenever possible before considering surgery.
使用纤维结肠镜对154例患者的总共160处狭窄进行了检查。在能够做出检查前诊断的情况下，结肠镜检查在52%的病例中证明之前的诊断是错误的。在该系列病例中，可能超过半数避免了不必要的剖腹手术。在考虑手术前，只要有可能，所有大肠狭窄均应接受结肠镜检查。
