Anoscopy
An anoscopy is an examination using a small, rigid speculum (anoscope) inserted a few inches into to the anus in order to evaluate problems of the anal canal.

Conditions visible to anoscopy

Anoscopy will permit biopsies to be taken, and is used when ligating prolapsed haemorrhoids.

The procedure is done on an outpatient basis.
