In brief

The aim of this study is to see if use of ScopeGuide, as compared to the traditional colonoscope, improves successful completion of colonoscopy procedures as evaluated by ease of completion, time to completion, and reduction in the number of mechanical loops and external maneuvers required to advance the scope. Other outcome measures include looking at the amount of sedation required (independent of weight) and polyp rate detection.
