Approach to Incomplete Colonoscopy: New Techniques and Technologies.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Colonoscopy is the most widely used screening modality for the detection and removal of colon polyps and for the prevention of colorectal cancer. To identify all colon lesions and reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, it is important to perform a complete colonoscopy. The success of screening colonoscopy depends upon several parameters, including bowel preparation and adenoma detection rate. Incomplete colonoscopy rates vary from 4% to 25% and are associated with higher rates of interval proximal colon cancer. This article reviews the potential causes of and preventive measures for incomplete colonoscopy, as well as techniques and technologies that may improve the rate of complete colonoscopy.

High success rate of repeat colonoscopy with standard endoscopes in patients referred for prior incomplete colonoscopy
BACKGROUND In patients with incomplete colonoscopy, cecal intubation is sometimes unsuccessful due to a redundant or tortuous colon. Repeat colonoscopy may be successful with the use of alternate endoscopes or careful attention to technique but limited outcomes data is available. The aim of this study was to describe the technique, success rate and outcomes of consecutive patients referred for ...
متن کاملAutomatic Discovery of Technology Networks for Industrial-Scale R&D IT Projects via Data Mining
Industrial-Scale R&D IT Projects depend on many sub-technologies which need to be understood and have their risks analysed before the project can begin for their success. When planning such an industrial-scale project, the list of technologies and the associations of these technologies with each other is often complex and form a network. Discovery of this network of technologies is time consumi...
متن کاملColonic work-up after incomplete colonoscopy: significant new findings during follow-up.
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Cecal intubation is not achieved in 2 - 23 % of colonoscopies. The efforts made by physicians to visualize the remaining colon and the number of missed significant lesions are unknown. This study evaluates 1) the reasons for incomplete colonoscopy, 2) the rates of complete colonic evaluation after incomplete colonoscopy, and 3) the number of (pre-) malignant lesions mi...
متن کاملDouble-balloon endoscopy: an effective rescue procedure after incomplete conventional colonoscopy.
OBJECTIVE A significant percentage of colonoscopies remain incomplete because of a failure to intubate the caecum. By double-balloon endoscopy (DBE), originally developed for deep enteroscopy, an otherwise incomplete examination of the colon might be completed. We evaluated the success rate of caecal intubation, the reasons for its failure and the therapeutic consequences of using DBE after inc...
