How To Do Anoscopy
Warnings and Common Errors for Anoscopy
Do not biopsy a hemorrhoid or any vascular tissue. Do not rotate a slotted anoscope because doing so can pinch tissue. Do not reinsert the guide plug while the anoscope is inside the patient because doing so can pinch or tear tissue. Remove the anoscope completely, reinsert the guide plug, and then reinsert the anoscope.
