Brief summary

Up to now, many studies has showed that compared with air insufflation colonoscopy, water-related colonoscopy could shorten the cecal intubation time and relieve the pain of the patients,especially for training the beginners,the investigators conduct this study to preform the air assisted water injection colonoscopy in experienced endoscopists.

Detailed description

In order to further develop water skills and apply the water assisted colonoscopy technique more flexibly, the investigators designed this study.

Interventions

Air is inflated into the bowel to help searching the cavity while advancing the colonoscope until reaching the cecum.

Water was injected through the working channel instead of air to follow the intestinal cavity until reaching the caecum .

OTHER Air assisted water injection.

Cut off air inflating before examination. Water was injected through the working channel to follow the intestinal cavity until reaching the splenic flexure, small amount of air inflating could be given to help searching the cavity until reaching the cecum.
