The results obtained from 1,012 examinations in an on-going, cooperative study indicate that the overall yield provided by use of the flexible fiberoptic sigmoidoscope is 3.2 times greater than that of examinations with the rigid sigmoidoscope. More than twice (2.4 times) the number of polyps and more than three times the number of cancers were detected with the flexible fiberoptic sigmoidoscope. Experienced endoscopists can perform an examination with the flexible fiberoptic sigmoidoscope expeditiously in the office with minimal patient preparation, a high level of patient and physician acceptance, and relative safety when the usual mandatory colonoscopic precautions and guidelines are obeyed. The extraordinary advantages demonstrated by this study warrant wide clinical application of the flexible fiberoptic sigmoidoscope. We strongly recommend provision be made for appropriate training of physicians in the use of the instrument.
在一项正在进行的合作研究中，对1012例患者进行检查所获得的结果表明，使用可弯曲纤维乙状结肠镜检查的总体检出率比使用硬式乙状结肠镜检查高出3.2倍。使用可弯曲纤维乙状结肠镜检测出的息肉数量是（硬式乙状结肠镜检查）的两倍多（2.4倍），癌症数量则是三倍多。经验丰富的内镜医师能够在办公室内迅速地使用可弯曲纤维乙状结肠镜进行检查，只需对患者进行最少的准备，患者和医生的接受度很高，并且在遵守常规的强制性结肠镜检查预防措施和指南时相对安全。这项研究显示出的非凡优势值得可弯曲纤维乙状结肠镜在临床上广泛应用。我们强烈建议为医生提供使用该仪器的适当培训。
