Core Tip	We compared the utility of single-balloon colonoscopy and double-balloon colonoscopy for difficult colonoscopy. Both single-balloon endoscopy (SBE) and double-balloon endoscopy (DBE) make possible performance of total colonoscopy in patients with incomplete colonoscopy using a conventional colonoscope. The utility of SBE and DBE for colonoscopy seems to be comparable. We recommend that patients with incomplete total colonoscopy undergo SBE or DBE.
