Filter by:This prospective randomized controlled trial compared integrated water jet channel colonoscopy with traditional accessory channel colonoscopy in cecal insertion time among patients undergoing WE method colonoscopy.
Colonoscopy is one of the most common methods for the diagnosis and treatment of lower gastrointestinal tract diseases and provides a unique opportunity to identify early neoplastic lesions. Adequate bowel preparation is important for optimal colonoscopy. New bowel-cleansing regimens, study of patient-related risk factors to fail a proper preparation and diet adaptations have been studied recently. A low residue diet is the standard in the day before the colonoscopy. Some endoscopists prescribe this dietary plan for a 3-day period prior to the exam, although no study compared the recommended 1-day versus 3-day diet regime, or the influence in bowel preparation results. The aim of this project is to determine if the use of a 3-day low residue diet improves bowel preparations results and the influence in patient tolerability and adherence.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CDFR0612 and CDFR0613 compared to PEG+picosulfate (Coolprep Powder) preparation. The effectiveness for bowel cleansing will be assessed with Harefield Cleansing Scale (HCS) by blinded assessor.
This feasibility trial will evaluate the ability of the SuMO Tissue Access and Resection System (Apollo Endosurgery, Austin, Texas). The SuMO System utilizes balloons to create a submucosal pocket and electrosurgical cutting device to resect the mucosa. The SuMO elevates the tissue from the underlying muscularis using a balloon to distend the submucosa, similar to what is currently performed with injectable saline in a standard EMR. After dissection of the lesion, a separate cutting device will be utilized to resect the tissue by cutting around the border of the targeted tissue. If needed, a standard loop snare will be used to complete the mucosal resection.
It is hypothesized that primary care colonoscopists are able to achieve benchmarks in colonoscopy quality including cecal intubation and adenoma detection rates and serious adverse event rates. This prospective study is the first in depth analysis of the quality of colonoscopic procedures performed by primary care physicians at a provincial level in Canada. In addition, the APC Endo study is the first to directly examine both the quality of colonoscopy and patient satisfaction in the same study.
