Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Colonoscopy is technically challenging. Conventionally, colonoscopy begins with patients positioned in the left lateral position. However, few published studies have explored alternatives and there is consequently little evidence to support left lateral starting position over alternatives.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

We aim to perform a randomised controlled trial of right versus left lateral starting position for colonoscopy. Primary outcome: time to caecum. Secondary outcomes: patient comfort; volume of sedation used.
