Proctoscopy is a type of endoscopy procedure used to examine the rectum and lower colon. It is typically performed to diagnose and treat conditions such as rectal bleeding, rectal prolapse, and rectal tumors. The procedure involves the insertion of a proctoscope, a thin, lighted tube, into the rectum. The proctoscope allows the doctor to view the inside of the rectum and lower colon. Proctoscopy is a relatively simple procedure and is often performed in an outpatient setting. It is generally well tolerated by patients and is considered to be a safe and effective diagnostic tool. The procedure is often used in conjunction with other endoscopic procedures, such as colonoscopy, to provide a more comprehensive view of the gastrointestinal tract. The proctoscopy market is an important part of the larger endoscopy market. It is a growing market, driven by the increasing prevalence of gastrointestinal diseases and the need for more accurate and efficient diagnosis and treatment. Some of the major companies in the proctoscopy market include Olympus Corporation, Stryker Corporation, Karl Storz GmbH & Co. KG, Richard Wolf GmbH, and Fujifilm Corporation. Show Less Read more
