Rectoclysis
In view of the quote, "The sanatorium has mineral-water treatment rooms for bath, shower and rectoclysis, a physiotherapy room for high-frequency treatment and ultrasonic therapy, a functional treatment room for curative sports and massage" I think rectoclysis may be more an appratus rather than a medical procedure.

 * no, rectoclysis, or proctoclysis, is a procedure. the 'clysis' suffix refers simply to the infusion of liquids. there is, or rather was, also 'hypodermoclysis'. rarely if ever used in human medicine today, but i gather still practiced in veterinary medicine, probably because of the difficulty in finding veins in small furry, scaly or feathered critters.
