Trial Information

Double-balloon Colonoscopy to Increase Cecal Intubation Rate in Technically Difficult Colonoscopies


This is a prospective cohort study to investigate the performance of the test instrument.
The test instrument consists of a slim, flexible colonoscope with an overtube and an
inflatable balloon on the tip of the colonoscope and the tip of the overtube. Patients are
eligible for inclusion if conventional colonoscopy fails due to technical difficulties such
as loop formation, long colonic segments or suspected adhesions. Written informed consent is
required. The study procedures will be performed immediately after the failed conventional
colonoscopy, or on a rescheduled appointment within four weeks.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Failed cecal intubation during conventional colonoscopy due to technical difficulties

Exclusion Criteria:

- Failed cecal intubation due to insufficient bowel preparation

- Stenotic colonic lesions

- Patients decline

- Pregnancy

- Persons younger than 18 years

- Persons unable to comprehend the information given
