Abstract
Objective To summarize the technique of one-man colonoscopy. Method The data of one-man colonoscopy and two-men colonoscopy on 360 patients were comparatively analyzed. Results The success rate of one-man colonoscopy was up to 96.9%, while two-men colonoscopy was 85.5%. The rate of reaching the end of ileum by one-man colonoscopy was 85%, and that of two-men colonoscopy was 56.0%. Eight minutes and eight seconds were spent for one-man colonoscopy to reach ileocecus on average, which was faster than two-men colonoscopy(11.5 minutes on average). The incidence of complication caused by two-men colonoscopy was 0%, whereas two-men colonoscopy was 0.88%. All results of one-man colonoscopy were superior to those of the control group. Conclusion One-man colonoscopy is not only time-saving and manpower-saving, but also safe and efficient.
