Comparison of newer colonoscopy devices with standard forward viewing (SFV) high definition colonoscopies in daily practice

Abstract

All authors do not have any financial or other relationship to disclose. Background For years efforts have been made to improve the quality of colonoscopy. Cap assisted colonoscopy has been shown in some studies to increase the adenoma detec-tion rate (ADR). Full-spectrum colonoscopes (FUSE) with 330°angle of view showed by initial studies a significantly lower adenoma missrate and higher ADR. Subsequent FUSE studies with already high ADR with SFV were unable to confirm these results.
