Family physicians consistently obtain similar insertion depths and diagnostic yields, although comparison is difficult because of ...

Most colonic pathology occurs within reach of a 25 cm sigmoidoscope. Rigid sigmoidoscopy can be quickly and safely performed in most cases without bowel preparation

Flexible sigmoidoscopy became available in 1976. To date, studies comparing it with rigid sigmoidoscopy support an increase of 2.5 to six times in the flexible sigmoidoscope's ability to detect polyps, and a two- to threefold increase in detection of colonic neoplasms in the same patients.
