enough water from the standoff to allow for easy insertion.

Performing a Rectoscopy Using a Reusable Water Standoff System
The patient is examined in the left lateral decubitus or the dorsal lithotomy position.
Follow policies established for your office, department or hospital for the use of a
rectosigmoidoscope.
To perform an endorectal examination:
Prepare the water standoff system before you start. (See “Preparing the Patient” on
page 14.)
Always perform a digital palpation before you insert a rectosigmoidoscope or endo
transducer into the rectum.
Using a Rectosigmoidoscope
Insert the obturator fully into the rectosigmoidoscope and apply gel to the outside tip.
Introduce the rectosigmoidoscope as far as the beginning of the rectal ampulla (4–5
cm).
WARNING To avoid tissue damage, always perform a thorough rectoscopy before doing an
endorectal imaging.
