Résumé

Les auteurs rapportent leur expérience ďune étude comparative entre 347 malades examinés avec un coloscope moyen (100 cm) et 223 avec un coloscope intermédiaire (120-130 cm). Ils ont exclu de ľétude les échecs de ľexploration cæcale chez les malades dont le côlon était mal préparé ou chez les porteurs de sténose organique.

Les deux endoscopes sont maniables et résistants; le coloscope intermédiaire permet un taux ďexploration cæcale plus élevé et un examen plus facile et plus complet de ľiléon terminal.

Summary

We refer to 347 and 223 patients examined with the medium (100 cm) and intermedium type of colonoscope respectively. The cases with organic stenosis or dirty colon, that prevented us from reaching the cecum, were not considered.

Both endoscopes proved very handy and durable, but the intermedium colonoscope allowed us to reach the cecum significantly more frequently and to explore the terminal ileum more adequately.
