The impact of full-spectrum endoscopy on pathological lesion detection in different regions of the colon: a randomised, controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Colonoscopy is crucial for detecting and localising pathological lesions within the colon. Colonoscopy quality is defined by the caecal intubation rate, withdrawal time, adenoma detection rate, and polyp detection rate. The newly introduced full-spectrum endoscope (FUSE^®) provides a 330° field of view, allowing endoscopists to observe more colonic anatomy. It is intended to increase detection of pathological lesions, especially those situated behind the haustral folds of the bowel. This diagnostic modality should increase the adenoma detection rate (ADR), especially in the right hemicolon. The aim of this study was to explore the efficacy of FUSE for detecting pathologic lesions in different colonic regions.
