The Impact of the Colonoscopy Starting Position and Its Potential Outcomes

Based on the literature review, many studies have been inconclusive in regards to adenoma detection and procedural positioning during a colonoscopy. Scope looping can make cecal intubation challenging, changing the positioning of the patient and application of external abdominal pressure can overcom...

description Based on the literature review, many studies have been inconclusive in regards to adenoma detection and procedural positioning during a colonoscopy. Scope looping can make cecal intubation challenging, changing the positioning of the patient and application of external abdominal pressure can overcome this difficulty. A colonoscopy in a prone position can overcome these challenges and reduce cecal intubation time. It can thus improve the safety of the patient and the staff by minimizing the movement of a sedated patient.
