Adenoma Detection Rate With a New Pediatric Colonoscope With a Short Turn Radius (Pentax Retroview) Compared With a Standard Pentax Pediatric Colonoscope

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Colonoscopy
Registration Number
NCT03807089
Lead Sponsor
Massachusetts General Hospital
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the new colonoscope that provides both a traditional and a retrograde view (bending 180 degrees to look behind itself) of the colon can detect more polyps than a standard colonoscope that only provides a forward-facing view. The investigators wish to effectively demonstrate the utility of the new colonoscope (Pentax Retroview Colonoscope) as the objective of this study is to determine polyp and adenoma detection rates in human subjects undergoing colonoscopy for polyp surveillance.
