Colonoscopy has become the "gold standard" in detection of colonic polyps and colon cancer. However, colonoscopy causes significant abdominal discomfort and abdominal pain during and after the procedure, requiring intravenous sedation and use of analgesics. The discomfort and pain are mostly caused by air insufflation and intubation difficulties during advancement of the colonoscope in order the reach the cecum. Study Hypothesis: Use of the "Visualization" Balloon will facilitate advancement of the colonoscope and will eliminate the need for colonic distention with the air or CO2, which can shortened the length of the procedure, reduce patient's discomfort and can decrease amount of sedatives and analgesics used during colonoscopy.
