Rectoscopy is the most simple diagnostic examination for suspicion of rectal cancer or cancer in the anal canal. The examination is always combined with rectal exploration and possibly a needle biopsy. The examination is performed with a rectoscope, which is a stiff tube with a light source. With this, the rectum is inspected as well as the surrounding mucous membrane – usually about 15 cm up from the anal opening. Behind the rectum ampule, right inside the anal canal, there is a large angle in which it is difficult to see small changes. This must be assessed carefully by exploration.During the examinations, biopsies can be taken.
