Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the left lateral tilt-down position, which includes procedures that involve placing patients on their left lateral side at an angle to make their heads lower than their feet, is more beneficial than the left lateral horizontal body position (patient horizontally laying on their left side, traditionally used for colonoscopies) to decrease descending colon insertion time, the difficulty of colonoscopy procedure and patients' pain.
