| We describe a simple new anoscope that makes it easy to correctly perform and position the purse-string suture that is an integral part of stapled mucosectomy. |
| Under general anesthesia the sphincter was dilated with the Pratt anoscope. |
| As evidence of this, consider the difference in size of the speculum and the anoscope. |
| The patient was subsequently placed in the left lateral decubitus position and an anoscope inserted. |
| To improve visualization, an anoscope or other type of retractor may be used. |
| In the presence of intraluminal pathologic condition, a craftmade proper introducer has been attached to the camera so adapting the lens to the caliber of the anoscope. |
