"Air Assisted"Water Injection Colonoscopy in Experienced Endoscopists

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Colon Disease; Rectal Disease

• Registration Number: NCT01797393
• Lead Sponsor: First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University

Brief Summary

Up to now, many studies has showed that compared with air insufflation colonoscopy, water-related colonoscopy could shorten the cecal intubation time and relieve the pain of the patients,especially for training the beginners,the investigators conduct this study to preform the "air assisted" water injection colonoscopy in experienced endoscopists.

Detailed Description

In order to further develop water skills and apply the water assisted colonoscopy technique more flexibly, the investigators designed this study.
