- Abstract
Total colonoscopy with use of a standard adult colonoscope can be difficult in the presence of a redundant or angulated colon. It is often possible to traverse these areas with the use of a thinner, more flexible endoscope. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of completing total colonoscopy using a push enteroscope when a standard colonoscope was unsuccessful.
