Abstract

The sliding tube has been recognized as an effective instrument for facilitating insertion of the colonoscope. However, when the sliding tube is intubated violently or roughly, endoscopic examinations can be hazardous. We have experienced the hazard of the sliding tube slipping into the descending colon, during a colonoscopy performed on a 35-year-old female. Fortunately, we were able to draw it out through the anus with a balloon-attached endoscope and another sliding tube. This method has the merit of not requiring laparotomy.
