Adenoma Detection by Polypectomy During Both Insertion and Withdrawal

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Adenoma of Large Intestine
Interventions
Procedure: Only withdrawal
Procedure: Both insertion and withdrawal
Registration Number
NCT01925833
Lead Sponsor
The Catholic University of Korea
Brief Summary

Standard method of colonoscopy is to insert the colonoscope rapidly to reach the cecum, with careful inspection and polypectomy during the withdrawal phase. However, small polyps (e.g. \<1cm) seen during insertion phase are difficult to find during withdrawal phase. Also, colon is in different conformation during insertion and withdrawal phases. We think careful inspection and polypectomy during both insertion and withdrawal can improve adenoma detection rate.
