Mechanical Analysis of Insertion Problems and Pain During Colonoscopy: Why Highly Skill-Dependent Colonoscopy Routines are Necessary in the First Place... and How They May be Avoided
BACKGROUND: Colonoscopy requires highly skill-dependent manoeuvres that demand a significant amount of training, and can cause considerable discomfort to patients, which increases the use of sedatives. Understanding the underlying fundamental mechanics behind insertion difficulties and pain during c...

| description | BACKGROUND: Colonoscopy requires highly skill-dependent manoeuvres that demand a significant amount of training, and can cause considerable discomfort to patients, which increases the use of sedatives. Understanding the underlying fundamental mechanics behind insertion difficulties and pain during colonoscopy may help to simplify colonoscopy and reduce the required extent of training and reliance on sedatives. |
