Abstract

Colorectal disease including cancer is increasing tendency in this country, and so acurate diagnosis and early treatment might be saved patients. Since Turell described colonofiberscopy in 1963, colonofiberscopy has been much developed and applied clinically for the more acurate diagnosis and treatment. I experienced five hundred cases who were taken barium examination before performing colonofiberscopy at the department of surgery. Ewha Womans University Hospital during past 8 years (1981-1988). Clinical analysis of these cases were made and comparison of colonofberscopy and barium enema in five hundred patients with colorectal disease were presented.
