Abstract

A portable digital rectosigmoidoscope single-handed, digital intestinal endoscope, is used by the suitably trained healthcare workers to digitally view the anus, rectum and distal sigmoid colon in people with anorectal symptoms at point of care.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a digitally enhanced optical rigid sigmoidoscope that provides illumination and digital visualization of the anus, rectum and sigmoid colon at the point of care. [0002] The present invention enables acquisition, storage and sharing of digital images of the lower colon, rectum and anus for diagnostic, training and evidence purposes as well as for monitoring to track disease progression and treatment outcomes. Preferably, through a custom integrated imaging software platform. Background technique [0003] Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed malignancy and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. Incidence varies widely by region, with a ten-fold difference in incidence between men and women worldwide. [0004] By 2030, the number of new cases is projected to increase by 60%, to more than 2.2 million, with 1.1 million cancer deaths. [0005] Survival is directly proportio...
