You have had treatment on your rectum.
The last segment of the large intestine consists of 2 sections. These 2 sections are the rectum and anal canal. The feces are collected in the rectum. The feces then move through the short anal canal to the anus. Feces are excreted through the anus.
The treatment involved the use of a special loop. A loop may be used, for example, to remove bulges in the mucous membrane. The mucus membrane is a moist membrane that lines the inside of the intestine.
