Giải thích
Sigmoidoscopy requires access to the rectum and lower colon, which the knee-chest or left Sims' position provides. Semi-Fowler's is a sitting position used for respiratory comfort and upper body exams. Lithotomy is used for pelvic exams and Trendelenburg for shock or certain abdominal procedures, neither of which exposes the rectal area well.
