Measure
Insertion/Withdrawal Colon Polypectomy
For participants assigned in the experimental group, the colon is washed and the debris is suctioned as the colonoscopy is slowly inserted from rectum to cecum. Deliberate and systematic inspection of the mucosa is performed with adequate insufflation during both insertion and withdrawal phases.Colon polypectomy for polyp size \<10 mm will be performed when they are identified during insertion and withdrawal of the colonoscope. Colon polypectomy for polyp size \>10 mm will be performed only during withdrawal of the scope.
Withdrawal Colon Polypectomy
For participants assigned in the control group, deliberate mucosa inspection and colon polypectomy will be performed exclusively on colonoscopy withdrawal.During insertion, minimal mucosal inspection and insufflation are applied to efficiently advance the instrument into cecum.
