The customary rigid rectoscope was compared prospectively, with a new, flexible one (prototypes of Olympus Opt. and Fuji) in each of 114 patients selected at random. Maximal depth of introduction was reached on average after 1 min with the rigid instruments, after 1 min 40 sec with the flexible one. Mean depth of introduction was 16 cm for the rigid and 33 cm for the flexible one. In 21 patients (18.4%) additional information was obtained with the flexible rectoscope. 80% of patients reported that the flexible instrument caused them no or only slight discomfort. Skill in using the flexible instrument can be quickly acquired.
