Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of abdominal corset use on colonoscopy outcomes in patients undergoing colonoscopy. Methods: This randomised controlled trial was conducted between March 2019 and January 2020, with the participation of 60 patients who underwent colonoscopy in the endoscopy unit of a university hospital. Half (n=30) of these patients were included in the experimental group and wore an abdominal corset during colonoscopy. Findings: It was determined that there was no statistically significant difference between the groups according to variables, including caecal intubation time (p=0.371), the need for position change in the colonoscopy process (p=0.554), position change in caecum imaging (p=1.000) and manual abdominal compression during the procedure (p=0.091). Conclusions: The results of this study reveal that abdominal corset usage does not provide a significant extra benefit compared with conventional colonoscopy in improving colonoscopy outcomes.
