Post written by Wai K. Leung, MD, from the University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China. In this study, we developed a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-based quantitative measurement for effective withdrawal time (EWT) during colonoscopy. This measurement also takes into consideration the quality of the images obtained during colonoscope withdrawal. Standard withdrawal time, a simple measurement …

Comparison of the efficacy and safety of an oral sulfate solution and 3-L polyethylene glycol on bowel preparation before colonoscopy: a phase III multicenter randomized controlled trial
Post written by Peng Pan, MD, from the Department of Gastroenterology, Changhai Hospital, Naval Military Medical University, Shanghai, China. The oral sulfate solution (OSS) split-dose regimen has been evaluated in several trials by comparing 2-L polyethylene glycol (PEG) plus ascorbic acid or 4-L PEG using the split-dose or same-day method. These studies showed that OSS was …
Randomized controlled trial of procedural sequence for same-day bidirectional endoscopy under monitored anesthesia care (RECoVER Trial)
Post written by Ali El Mokahal, MD, from the American University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon. In this study, we investigated the impact of procedural sequence during same-day bidirectional endoscopy conducted with the patient under monitored anesthesia care. Our primary outcome was the time to recovery from sedation. We also evaluated the amount of sedation administered, time …
Artificial intelligence–assisted colonoscopy for adenoma and polyp detection: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis
Post written by Mohamed Shiha, MRCP, from the Academic Unit of Gastroenterology, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, Sheffield, UK. Adenoma detection rate (ADR) is the main quality indicator for the effectiveness of colonoscopy in preventing colorectal cancer. However, it is estimated that 1 in 4 adenomas are missed during colonoscopy. Recently, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled …
The usefulness of a newly invented transparent silicon attachment: static electricity fastening tape hood
Post written by Shunya Takayanagi, MD, from NTT Medical Center Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan. Distal attachments placed on the endoscope tip are useful for cecal intubation of the colonoscope, detecting polyps by depressing the fold. Various diameter endoscopes need multiple types of attachment, which can be costly. Therefore, we developed a silicon attachment that adheres to the …
Diagnostic yield of random colon biopsy sampling in patients with chronic diarrhea and normal colonoscopy: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Post written by Priyadarshini Loganathan, MD, from University Medical Associates, University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, Texas, USA. The focus of our study was to identify the pooled diagnostic value of random colonic biopsy sampling in patients with chronic nonbloody diarrhea and a normal colonoscopy examination. There is a need to quantify the pooled …
Computer-aided detection, mucosal exposure device, their combination, and standard colonoscopy for adenoma detection: a randomized controlled trial
Post written by Satimai Aniwan, MD, from the Division of Gastroenterology, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, and King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Thai Red Cross Society, Bangkok, Thailand. This study aimed to compare adenoma detection rate (ADR) differences among computer-aided detection (CADe), endocuff-assisted colonoscopy (EAC; Endocuff Vision ARV 110; Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan), and the combination of CADe …
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 …
Effectiveness of prophylactic clipping in preventing postpolypectomy bleeding in aspirin users: a propensity-score analysis
Post written by Louis H.S. Lau, MBChB, and Francis K. L. Chan, MD, from the Department of Medicine and Therapeutics, Faculty of Medicine, and the Institute of Digestive Diseases, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR. This study focused on examining the benefit of prophylactic clipping after colonoscopic polypectomy or endoscopic resection in high-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 …
