In this episode of the Gastroenterology and Endoscopy Podcast, we explore the world of water-assisted colonoscopy (WAC). WAC is a technique that uses water instead of air or gas during the insertion phase of a colonoscopy, offering numerous benefits for both endoscopists and patients. By utilizing water's natural properties, WAC can reduce pain and discomfort, straighten out the colon, and enhance visibility of the mucosal surface. This technique not only improves patient comfort but also plays a crucial role in colorectal cancer prevention by improving adenoma detection rates. Join us as we delve into the advantages of WAC over traditional methods and its potential impact in the field of gastroenterology.
