At ELEVATE Gastroenterology, we specialize in providing comprehensive medical care and diagnostic services, including flexible sigmoidoscopy. Flexible sigmoidoscopy is a medical procedure used to examine the lower part of the colon and rectum. It involves inserting a flexible tube with a light and camera, called a sigmoidoscope, into the rectum. This procedure allows doctors to visually inspect the lining of the sigmoid colon, detect abnormalities, and perform interventions.

The benefits of flexible sigmoidoscopy are multiple. Firstly, it is a relatively quick and safe procedure that can be performed on an outpatient basis. It provides a clear view of the sigmoid colon, aiding in the early detection of colorectal polyps, tumors, and inflammatory conditions.

Additionally, flexible sigmoidoscopy is less invasive than a colonoscopy, as it only examines the lower portion of the colon. This means that bowel preparation is less intensive, and the risk of complications, such as bowel perforation, is lower.

Furthermore, flexible sigmoidoscopy allows for the removal of small polyps and the collection of tissue samples for further examination, which can aid in diagnosis and treatment planning.
