Efficacy of combination colonoscopy using modified cap-assisted and water-exchange colonoscopy with prone position for detection of colorectal adenomas.

ABSTRACT: The efficacy of cap-assisted and water-exchange colonoscopy, individually or in combination for adenoma detection is well documented. Moreover, prone positioning colonoscopy may also improve adenoma detection by decreasing loop formation. However, the efficacy of triple-combination colonoscopy using the above methods for adenoma detection is unclear. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of combining modified cap-assisted and water-exchange colonoscopy with prone position (CWP) and conventional colonoscopy (CC) for adenoma detection. A total of 746 patients who underwent either CWP or CC, performed by 2 board-certified gastroenterologists between December 2019 and March 2020, were investigated retrospectively. Cap-assisted colonoscopy was modified using hooking and dragging maneuve
