Panoramic colonoscopy in colorectal cancer screening - a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Colonoscopy is considered the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening. Panoramic colonoscopy offers better visualization to decrease the adenoma miss rate.

Aim

To assess the influence of 330° panoramic view colonoscopy on adenoma and polyp detection rate, cecal intubation time, and examiner's comfort.

Material and methods

The study enrolled 421 patients aged 18-80 years who were eligible for colonoscopy screening. Patients with prior abdominal surgery, inflammatory bowel disease or after colorectal resections were excluded from the study. Patients were randomized to either standard frontal view (SFV) (Olympus Evis Exera III 190 CF-HQ190L) or the panoramic view colonoscopy (PVC) (FUSE CDVL slim c38). The study was approved by the local bioethics comm
