Brief summary

Detailed description

colonoscopy and colonoscopic screening are the most common routine studies to reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer.In this process, the most important problem for the endoscopist and the patient is pain, loop formation, (the reason why the device is not able to progress in the bowel) and in some patients it takes a long time due to these reasons and the risk of complication development.The subject of what should be the most ideal position in colonoscopy has previously been studied in some specific subgroups.There is not enough study on what should be the ideal position in colonoscopy. In this study, the investigators tried to determine which colonoscopic position allows easy, fast and comfortable way.
