Between study periods, we prospectively evaluate consecutive asymptomatic patients who were receiving elective colonoscopy for screening, surveillance, or medical check-up at the Jeju Halla General Hospital.
Exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) age younger than 18 years; (2) surgically altered colonic anatomy (such as hemicolectomy or segmental colorectal resection); (3) American Society of Anesthesiology risk Class 3 or higher; (4) allergy to propofol, soybeans, or eggs; (5) contraindication to hyoscine butylbromide; (6) failure to comply with the recommended bowel preparation regimen; (7) current analgesics including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs use during the preceding week (acetylsalicylic acid 100 mg daily or less acceptable); (8) no response to our research with telephone; and (9) declining to provide informed consent. Finally, for the patients’ safety and comfort, the patients with difficult insertion were excluded who underwent colonoscopy over 10 minutes for cecal intubation.
