The gastric mucosa was all normal.  The scope was passed through the pylorus into the first and second portions of the duodenum, where some minimal duodenitis changes were noted.  No biopsies were obtained.  No ulcerations were seen, no masses, etc.  The scope was withdrawn, suctioning away insufflated air. The patient was then turned, and a digital-rectal examination was carried out, which was normal.  The Olympus fiberoptic colonoscope was utilized and passed through the anus, rectum, and sigmoid colon under direct visualization. To approximately 60 cm, the splenic flexure was not reached.  No abnormalities were noted.  The scope was withdrawn, carefully inspecting the entire mucosa, and once again no lesions were identified.  I believe the patient’s bleeding is attributable to internal hemorrhoids.  The patient tolerated these procedures well and was returned to the recovery room for a period of observation. D.
