Filter by:This is a prospective randomised trial comparing the proximal adenoma detection rate and miss rate by blue laser imaging (BLI), narrow band imaging or white light colonoscopy.
Linked color imaging (LCI) is newly developed image-enhancing endoscopy technology that differentiates the red color spectrum more effectively than white light imaging thanks to its optimal pre-process composition of light spectrum and advanced signal processing. This technology, combined in the latest generation Fujifilm's endoscopes (Fujifilm Co, Tokyo, Japan) with new high-performance LED illumination system, enhances the visibility of colonic mucosal vessels and might increase the detection rate of colorectal polyps. Data available regarding colorectal polyp or adenoma detection with LCI are encouraging but are scanty and limited to back-to back studies. This two parallel arms, randomized, multicenter trial is aimed at evaluating whether LCI is superior to WL endoscopy in terms of adenoma detection
This clinical trial is being conducted to assess whether second forward view examination of proximal colon could increase adenoma detection rate of right colon.
The purpose of this observational study is to record performance of a double balloon endolumenal interventional platform during complex colon polypectomy.
During colonoscopy, the endoscopist will document prospectively all polyps detected and note the size, location and morphology. Polyps of 4-20 mm will be removed only in accordance with the method the cold snare. Afterwards, the remaining tissues could be observed with an imaging technology called Optivista with an injection of 10-50 ml of saline solution (if required) to improve visibility of the tissues. The endoscopist will continue to remove the remaining polyp tissue (with a snare or forceps) until there are no more visible polyp tissues. Biopsies from the polyp resection site will be sent to the laboratory for analysis to confirm the complete resection.
The study will compare the use of cold snare, hot snare, cold EMR, and hot EMR for polyp resection. Although previous studies have compared two of the potential resection methods, no previous study has evaluated all four of the resection methods.
Small colon polyps which are found during colonoscopy insertion are sometimes difficult to find during withdrawal and thus missed. The investigators aim to evaluate the differences of colon polyp/adenoma detection rates of patients undergoing additional inspection and polypectomy during insertion as compared to the patients undergoing traditional practice of careful inspection and polypectomy performed entirely during withdrawal of colonoscopy.
The purpose of this study to evaluate and examine whether use of Hybrid Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC) as an adjunct to endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) will reduce the risk of residual or recurrent neoplasia at 6 months. Hybrid APC is an existing FDA approved device used to assist with ablation of abnormal tissue anywhere in the GI tract.
Current recommendations for colonoscopy screening programs usually involve patients older than 50 years of age. However, little is known about polyp or adenoma detection rates under 50. We compared these detection rates according to age in a large series of patients in common practice. Methods: All colonoscopies performed in 2016 in our unit were prospectively recorded. We determined adenoma detection rate (ADR), polyp detection rate (PDR), mean number of polyps (MNP), and advanced neoplasia detection rate (ANDR).
This is a prospective randomized trial comparing the adenoma detection rate of LCI with NBI. Eligible patients are randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to undergo tandem colonoscopy with LCI (LCI group) or NBI (NBI group). Randomization will be carried out by computer generated random sequences and stratified according to endoscopist's experiences (experienced versus fellows) and indications of colonoscopy (symptomatic vs screening/surveillance). The primary outcome of this study is to compare the adenoma or polyp detection rates by LCI and NBI during the first examination. Secondary outcomes included adenoma/polyp miss rate by LCI or NBI. Other outcomes include sessile serrated adenomas or polyps (SSA/P) detection rates and advanced adenoma detection rates.
