Abstract
Proctology has an interdisciplinary character with surgical, dermatological, and venereal disease conditions. In the true sense of the word, it is a marginal field for endoscopy; normal coloscopic techniques are not helpful. Nevertheless, most anorectal diseases that will be presented in this chapter may well be diagnosed and also treated by means of meticulous inspection, rectal digital examination, and proctoscopy.
