Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Quality of visualization of the anal canal and rectum Assessment of clarity, field of view, illumination, and lesion visibility achieved using the Proctoscope, as rated by the operating surgeon using a predefined grading scale. Timepoint: baseline .

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.Diagnostic adequacy .Ability to identify anorectal pathology (e.g., fissure, hemorrhoids, fistula opening, mass, inflammation) 2.Ease of use (Operator-reported) Rated using a scale assessing overall usability of the device 3.Patient discomfort 4.Procedure duration Time taken to complete proctoscopic examination (in minutes) 5.Need for repeat examination .Requirement for repeat proctoscopy or alternate diagnostic modality due to inadequate visualization Timepoint: baseline
