Not Applicable
Conditions
Colonic Transendoscopic Enteral Tubing
Interventions
Procedure: colonic transendoscopic enteral tubing
Registration Number
NCT03621033
Lead Sponsor
The Second Hospital of Nanjing Medical University
Brief Summary

Colonic transendoscopic enteral tubing (TET) is a novel, safe, convenient, and reliable way for fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and the whole-colon enema treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the methodology, efficiency, feasibility and safety of using transparent cap-assisted endoscopy for colon TET implantation.

Detailed Description

Our previous article has reported the method of colon TET. However, the investigators found that it was difficult to find the cavity because of the concentration of intestinal folds caused by the tube pulling after insertion of TET. It is well known that transparent cap-assisted colonoscopy is easier to flatten the semilunar folds and improve mucosal exposure. Here the investigators test the hypothesis that using transparent cap-assisted colonoscopy significantly decreases the second cecal intubation time which not only improve work efficiency, but also saves patients' anesthesia time and cost. Thus, the investigators design a prospective multicenter, randomized controlled trial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the methodology, efficiency, feasibility and safety of using transparent cap-assisted endoscopy for colon TET implantation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The second cecal intubation timeone day

Record the time of colonoscopy from the anus to the ileal flap in the second insertion.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Adverse events rateAll patients were followed up from date of intubation to one mouth after discharge

Procedure-related and tube-related adverse events after procedure

Maximum insertion pain scoreone day

Using numerical rating scale to evaluate maximum insertion pain score in non anesthesia. The digital grading method uses 0-10 to represent different levels of pain, with 0 as painless and 10 as severe. The classification standard of pain degree is: 0: no pain; 1-3: mild pain; 4-6: moderate pain; 7-10: severe pain.
