A Demonstration of Some of the Challenges Posed by a Redundant Colon

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video demonstrates a difficult colonoscopy procedure on a patient with a redundant colon. The doctor explains that using a standard adult scope is necessary to counter the looping and redundancy of the colon. Water is used to fill the colon and remove gas pockets, while abdominal pressure is applied to prevent the formation of loops. The doctor encounters difficulties but eventually reaches the cecum with the help of the medical team. The video ends with a preview of the next week's topic on passing an angulated sigmoid. No credits were mentioned.
