Studies have shown that one-quarter to one-third of all precancerous or small cancerous growths can be seen with a sigmoidoscope.
The sigmoidoscope can be used therapeutically in conjunction with such other equipment as electrosurgical devices to remove polyps and other lesions found during the sigmoidoscopy.
A sigmoidscope is a form of scope used to look into the sigmoid colon.
To sterilize a sigmoidoscope, it should be cleaned with detergent, rinsed, and then submerged in a high-level disinfectant solution for the recommended time. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper sterilization and to ensure that the equipment is thoroughly dried before use.
The longer, flexible version, which is the primary type of sigmoidoscope used in the screening process, can detect more than one-half of all growths in this region. This examination is usually performed in combination with a fecal occult blood test
The common terms are endoscopy or sigmoidoscopy or endoscope.
There are several Doctors tools viz: Stethescope, Otoscope, Opthalmoscope, hammer, laryngoscope, proctoscope, sigmoidoscope, tunning fork, needle, syringe.........
The comedian was Dennis Wolfberg. Sadly he died of cancer a couple years after he went big with his colonoscopy bit. Extremely funny man with a super talent for facial and voice distortion humor.
Most sigmoidoscopy is done with a flexible fiberoptic tube. The tube contains a light source and a camera lens. The doctor moves the sigmoidoscope up beyond the rectum (the first 1 ft/30 cm of the colon), examining the interior walls of the rectum.
Lubricant is necessary for a sigmoidoscopy to help ease the insertion of the sigmoidoscope into the rectum and lower colon, reducing discomfort and minimizing the risk of injury to the delicate tissues in the area. Lubricant also helps the scope to move smoothly and enables the doctor to get a clearer view during the procedure.

The CPT code for a flexible sigmoidoscopy with biopsy is 45330. This code is used to report the procedure when a flexible sigmoidoscope is inserted into the rectum and sigmoid colon to visually examine the area and obtain tissue samples for biopsy. Always ensure to check the latest coding guidelines or updates, as codes may change.
