6. Devices for Examination and Treatment of Proctological Diseases

Abstract

The wound of proctological diseases should be treated more tenderly and protectively than on other surgical wound, because any rough manner of proctological examination or treatment causes severe pain of patients and a prolongation of wound healing.
Accordingly, consultating table, lightning system and analoscope were deviced for general proctologists to be able to deal with more easily, and then, some of otorhinological instruments were applied to open and spread anal wound with less stimulation. Especially, the soft and elastic cottonsponge-stick made of bamboo, which is 3 mm in diameter and 20 cm in length, seemed to be very useful and effective to releve patient's pain and to protect a benign granulation formation, concerned with observation, cleaning and drug-application of anal wound.
