Summary

During colonoscopy, the colonoscopist employs various maneuvers, including changing the patient's posture to left-lateral decubitus or supine, to achieve complete colonoscopic examination. Posture change has also been reported to increase the success rate of ileal intubation. However, there has been no randomized trial which has shown that a particular posture of the patient increases the success rate of ileoscopy. The present study will be carried out to determine the impact of the patient's posture (left lateral vs supine position) on success rate of ileal intubation.

Conditions

• Colonoscopy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Ileal intubation	After confirmation of cecal intubation, patient will undergo randomization to either the left-lateral decubitus or supine position. Then terminal ileal intubation will be attempted. Partial suction and scope manoeuvres for ileal intubation will be allowed. Use of anti-peristalsis agents, use of biopsy forceps, as a guidewire or an ''anchor'' to facilitate the IC- valve intubation, and intubation in the retroflexed position will not be allowed.
