Impact of withdrawal time on adenoma detection rate: results from a prospective multicenter trial
Post written by Madhav Desai, MD, MPH, from the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition, University of Minnesota Medical Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Achieving an optimal adenoma detection rate (ADR), a priority quality metric for screening colonoscopy, is necessary for a high-quality colonoscopy. Studies have shown that a higher ADR is linked to a lower risk …

Computer-assisted detection versus conventional colonoscopy for proximal colonic lesions: a multicenter, randomized, tandem-colonoscopy study
Post written by Wai K. Leung, MD, from the Department of Medicine, Queen Mary Hospital, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China. A meta-analysis reported that up to 26% of colorectal adenomas could be missed during colonoscopy. Computer-assisted detection (CADe) has been shown to enhance colorectal adenoma and polyp detection. However, it remains uncertain whether CADe …
Evaluation of safety, efficacy, and ease of use for screening and surveillance colonoscopy by using a single-use colonoscope with wide-angle field of view
Post written by Nathan Gluck, MD, PhD, from the Research Center for Digestive Diseases, Gastroenterology Department, Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, and Tel-Aviv University Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel-Aviv, Israel. We studied a novel single-use colonoscope with an extended 200º field of view, enabling view behind colonic folds and eliminating concerns related to reprocessing of devices. Lesions …

Polyps seen but not removed during index colonoscopy: an underestimated inefficiency in endoscopy practice
Post written by Krish Ragunath, MD, from the NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre, Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust and the University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK. The aim of this study was to evaluate the practice of nonremoval of polyps at index endoscopy and to try and elucidate the potential reasons for this practice. When small …

Pooled rates of adenoma detection by colonoscopy in asymptomatic average-risk individuals with positive fecal immunochemical test: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Post written by Babu P. Mohan, MD, from the Department of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Department of Medicine, University of Utah Health, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. The focus of this study was to evaluate the pooled rates of adenoma detection in fecal immunochemical test (FIT)-positive colonoscopy. Current adenoma detection rate (ADR) thresholds in FIT-positive colonoscopy …
Endoscopic fenestration for benign complete anastomotic obstruction following rectal surgery
Post written by Jun Takada, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastroenterology, Gifu University Graduate School of Medicine, Gifu, Japan. This video case is about a 62-year-old man who developed an obstruction in the anastomotic region 6 months after Hartmann’s surgery for rectal cancer.
