Optimal withdrawal time in initial surveillance colonoscopy after colorectal cancer surgery: comparison between anterior/low anterior resection and right hemicolectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to investigate the optimal withdrawal time (WT) for initial surveillance colonoscopy after curative resection for colorectal cancer (CRC) by comparing anterior/low anterior resection (AR/LAR) and right hemicolectomy (RHC) groups.

Methods

This retrospective study analyzed 1,212 patients who underwent initial surveillance colonoscopy after CRC resection between 2015 and 2022. The patients were divided into the AR/LAR (n = 846) and RHC (n = 366) groups. The optimal WT was determined using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and validated using logistic regression models. The adenoma and advanced neoplasia detection rates (ADR/ANDR) were evaluated based on the optimal WT.

Results

The optimal WT was 7 and 6 minutes in the AR/LAR and RH
