An effective rectal administration method in the left semiprone position
Satoshi Awazu, Nagasaki, Japan
It was often observed that the rectosigmoid colon more nearly
overlapped with the sigmoid-descending colon junction when the patient was
placed in the left semiprone position in the single-contrast enema examination.
Therefore, we considered that the
rectosigmoid colon is located in the highest position while the
sigmoid-descending colon junction is located in the lowest position and various kinds of drugs can be readily administered into the proximal colon in the left semiprone position.
