Rectal and Sigmoid Colon Checkup Procedure

The provider examines the rectum and sigmoid colon with a flexible sigmoidoscope, a tubular instrument with a light source and camera, to determine the cause for a patient's symptoms, such as diarrhea, constipation, or abdominal pain. The provider takes samples of any suspicious tissue by brushing or washing the area to collect cells for laboratory analysis. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries.
