title: Sigmoidoscopy. Is it a general practice procedure?
abstract: Sigmoidoscopy can readily be learnt and practised by a general practitioner interested in looking after patients with colorectal problems. Examination with a rigid sigmoidoscope has advantages over use of the flexible instrument for the frequent user. Details of the equipment needed for sigmoidoscopy as well as a method, precautions and some typical findings are described.
