Abstract:
:It is well-known that colonoscopy is considered the gold standard for colon cancer prevention. Although performed by experienced endoscopists, the matter remains of polyps missed during this examination. The reasons may include the size, shape and location of the lesions. Many colorectal cancer screening programs have been proposed to increase the adenoma detection rate. The substantial difference between these methods is whether the improvement in vision, particularly the detection of irregularities of the mucosa, is inside the endoscope electronic components (magnification, wide-angle vision, narrow band imaging, flexible spectral imaging colour enhancement, i-Scan) or outside the same, by the use of specific caps (EndoCuff, EndoVision, EndoRings). Endocuff is a plastic device mounted at the end of the scope with a constant vision field of the entire colon. The aim of this study is to explore the potential clinical and technical benefits of Endocuff.
