Auxiliary tool for colonoscopy

Abstract

An auxiliary tool for colonoscopy is disclosed. The auxiliary tool for colonoscopy includes an anal intubation body and a feces-holding body. The anal intubation body has an aperture surface on one side and an anus cover on the other side, and also has a hollow part having a first diameter formed inside. The anus cover is shaped as a cap having a round curved surface. The feces-holding body has one side coupled to an inner side of the anus cover, has a holding part formed inside, and has a leakage prevention body formed on the other side. The holding part has a second diameter and is connected with the hollow part, and the leakage prevention body is configured to permit passage of an endoscope tube but prevent leakage of fecal matter held in the holding part to the other side. The auxiliary tool for colonoscopy can prevent damage to the anus during colonoscopy and guarantee a field of vision around the anal verge to allow accurate observation and diagnosis over an area extending from the anal verge to the lower rectum.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an auxiliary tool for colonoscopy. Background technique [0002] The digestive organs of the human body include the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The large intestine forms the last part of the digestive tract and is where the main absorption of water and electrolytes takes place. The large intestine can be roughly divided into the colon and the rectum, and the colon can be further divided into the ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colon. Cancer that occurs in the colon is called colon cancer, cancer that occurs in the rectum is called rectal cancer, and both cancers are collectively called bowel cancer or colorectal cancer. [0003] Causes of colorectal cancer can be broadly classified into environmental factors and genetic factors, but it is known that factors such as high calorie intake, animal fat intake, lack of fiber intake, and obesity are particularly associate...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Since during colonoscopy, when the endoscope is inserted through the anus, the anus closes under the elasticity of the anus, and, since the view is obscured by fecal matter from the outer edge of the anus to the lower rectum, using the endoscope tube A camera that ends and is attached to an optical fiber may have difficulty accurately viewing the area around the outer anal verge or from the outer anal verge to the lower rectum

In addition, in order to diagnose diseases occurring on the outer edge of the anus or the lower rectum using an endoscope, the endoscope inserted into the colon must be turned inside the intestine in the opposite direction, but this creates a risk of puncturing the intestinal wall
