title: A new chair support for flexible endoscopes.
abstract: A new chair support for flexible endoscopes simplifies sigmoidoscopic endoscopy. The endoscopist sits on a stool with a moveable support for the endoscope. This allows working without much fatigue and the endoscopist can insert and move the endoscope himself. We examined 50 patients in the described technique. We reached an average depth of intubation of 45-50 cm and the average examination took less than 5 minutes.
