Optimal visual gaze pattern of endoscopists for improving adenoma detection during colonoscopy (with video)
Post written by Fumiaki Ishibashi, MD, PhD, from the International University of Health and Welfare Ichikawa Hospital, Chiba, Japan. Specific visual gaze pattern (VGP) during colonoscopy is assumed to be related to high colorectal adenoma detection. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluated the optimal VGP that enabled the highest adenoma detection. We developed an eye-tracking and feedback …
Boosting efficiency in the endoscopy suite: integrating team workflows improves productivity and minimizes cost
Post written by Zoë Post, MD, MSc, and Neal A. Mehta, MD, from Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois, USA. The main purpose of our study was to improve turnover time in the endoscopy unit. We first defined the various components of the turnover process and identified the teams that are involved, such as anesthesiologists, nurses, technicians, and gastroenterologists. We then …

Use of artificial intelligence improves colonoscopy performance in adenoma detection: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Post written by Jonathan Makar, BSc, from The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Our study focuses on the impact of computer-aided detection (CADe) systems and their role in improving adenoma detection during colonoscopy. These novel artificial intelligence (AI) systems aim to address endoscopist recognition failure and improve colonoscopy performance, as they are not subject to human …

Post written by David L. Diehl, MD, FASGE, from the Departments of Medicine and Pathology, Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine, and the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, Pennsylvania, USA. It was a fun but challenging task to pick the top articles on colonoscopy published in 2024. The fun part was seeing how the very …
Virtual reality intervention to improve quality of care during colonoscopy: a hybrid type 1 randomized controlled trial
Post written by Mahdi Shamali, PhD, from Copenhagen University Hospital–Herlev and Gentofte, Copenhagen, Denmark. This study explored an innovative approach using virtual reality (VR) as a nonpharmacologic tool to manage pain, anxiety, and discomfort during colonoscopies. Colonoscopy procedures often induce stress and discomfort, affecting patient willingness to complete the procedure and comply with follow-ups. Our research tested …
