title: [Experiences with coloscopy].
abstract: The introduction of fully flexible coloscopes has considerably contributed to the improvement of the diagnostics of the large intestine. According to the hitherto got experiences is to be expected that this method will contribute to the possibility of diagnose malignant and benign colon processes earlier and more exactly. In the paper the methodology of the coloscopy is described and it is referred to its difficulties and complications. The indications and contraindications for the coloscopy are described. It is reported on first results after a one-year experience with coloscopy. The conclusion is that in patients with radiologically and rectoscopically not clarifiable, referring to a severe disease of the colon, symptoms a coloscopy should be carried out.
