August 19, 2011 — Water immersion (filling the colon with water instead of air) and capping the colonoscope tip are 2 fairly recent developments in colonoscopy that may improve insertion success, ...

Quality in colonoscopy is defined by the capacity to detect and characterise premalignant lesions, thereby reducing the incidence of colorectal cancer and interval carcinomas. Key performance ...

The accuracy of computed tomographic colonography ("virtual colonoscopy") for the detection of colorectal cancer is lower than that for conventional colonoscopy, suggesting that use of "virtual" ...

A study presented at Digestive Disease Week 2017 examined the effectiveness of an underwater colonoscopy technique, Medscape reports. UC Irvine Medical Center Anish Patel, MD, and colleagues used an ...

Adenoma detection rates during colonoscopy might be influenced by procedural technique and the time taken by the endoscopist to withdraw the colonoscope. This single-center, prospective study included ...

A new study published in the August issue of GIE: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the scientific journal of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, shows that the use of retroflexion ...

PALM COAST --Florida Hospital Flagler has become the first hospital in the state to use a new colonoscopy technique that improves the detection of pre-cancerous polyps by up to 25 percent, officials ...

BHUBANESWAR: High quality withdrawal technique during colonoscopy could improve adenoma detection rate (ADR) and bring down the risk of interval colorectal cancer (CRC), a new study has suggested. The ...

The increasing use of deep sedation for routine colonoscopy in North America is a trend that should be curtailed. Deep sedation is of marginal benefit. Deep sedation costs more than traditional ...

An endoscopic technique known as retroflexion, when used in the right side of the colon, may increase the diagnostic yield of polyps, including large adenomas (larger than 10 millimeters) and serrated ...
