La proctoscopie permet d'explorer les 10 à 15 derniers centimètres du gros intestin et de procéder à des prélèvements dans certaines parties de la muqueuse rectale. Le médecin utilise pour ce faire un tube rigide à optique au travers duquel il peut voir le rectum de l'intérieur. Un tel instrument est appelé «rectoscope» ou encore «proctoscope». La proctoscopie permet également de traiter les hémorroïdes et autres affections anales. 1, record 2, French, - rectoscope
