What is Flexible Sigmoidoscopy? Read the full explainer →

Flexible Sigmoidoscopy

A flexible sigmoidoscopy examines the rectum and the lower third or so of the colon with a short flexible camera. It is the diagnostic version — looking only, with washings or brushings if needed. It usually needs no sedation and far less bowel preparation than a colonoscopy, which is why it costs considerably less.
