Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the trendelenberg (TD) position (position in procedures that involves placing the patient at an angle so that their head is lower than their feet on the procedure bed) in select patients undergoing colonoscopy is superior than the left lateral (LL) position (patient laying on their side, traditionally used for colonoscopies) in terms of decreasing time necessary to pass the colonoscope through the left colon, and decreasing the difficulty of the procedure.
