Through experience with 1,464 examinations using the short flexible fiberoptic colonscope, the author concludes it to be the preferred instrument for endoscopy of the distal bowel. He finds it superior to the rigid instrument in detection of polyps and early malignant disease of the distal descending and sigmoid colons. The flexible instrument is generally less uncomfortable for the patient and is readily accepted as a routine part of a thorough colonic and rectal examination.
通过使用短纤维光学结肠镜进行的1464例检查的经验，作者得出结论，它是远端肠道内镜检查的首选器械。他发现，在检测降结肠远端和乙状结肠的息肉和早期恶性疾病方面，它比硬式器械更具优势。这种柔性器械通常给患者带来的不适较小，很容易被接受为全面的结肠和直肠检查的常规部分。
