1.	Hemorrhage 09/01/2004 - "Total intraoperative enteroscopy using a colonoscope is effective for detecting the bleeding point in the small intestine and can be performed at most centers without special fiberscopes and techniques." 12/01/2000 - "BACKGROUND: Current multiband ligating devices can be useful in the treatment of colorectal hemorrhage but are not designed to be used with a colonoscope. " 12/01/2000 - "This study describes methods of modifying multiband ligating devices for use with a colonoscope, and the application of both single band and modified multiband ligating devices in the treatment of colonic bleeding. " 09/01/2009 - "Using a pediatric colonoscope with water jet capabilities, active bleeding could be seen originating from the cut pancreatic surface. " 08/01/2008 - "[Application of adult colonoscope in lower digestive tract bleeding in children: experience of 41 cases]" Order ALL the reference details at left...
2.	Polyps 01/01/2007 - "A hood attached to the tip of the colonoscope has been reported to be helpful in detecting and removing colorectal polyps. " 04/01/2009 - "This study evaluated the ability of the Olympus Exera 180 high-definition colonoscope (Olympus America, Inc, Center Valley, PA), with narrow-band imaging, to predict colorectal polyp histology. " 09/01/2003 - "RESULTS: In study 1, the miss rate for all polyps was lower with the wide angle colonoscope (20% vs 31%; p = 0.046), although the mean examination time with the wide angle instrument was shorter (6.75 min vs 7.64 min; p = 0.0005). " 09/01/2003 - "The aim of this study was to investigate whether a prototype wide angle colonoscope is associated with a reduced miss rate for polyps. " 09/01/2001 - "This study reports our experience using a magnifying colonoscope combined with indigocarmine dye to diagnose colorectal polyps, emphasizing its ability to differentiate neoplastic from nonneoplastic lesions. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
3.	Pathologic Constriction (Stenosis) 10/01/2001 - "We conclude that hydrostatic balloon dilatation is a safe and effective alternative to surgery in the management of Crohn's strictures within the reach of the colonoscope." 12/01/1996 - "CONCLUSIONS: The pediatric colonoscope, and particularly the newer Olympus PCF-100 colonoscope, is very useful in adult patients in whom it is not possible to traverse a fixed, angulated sigmoid colon or stricture using the standard adult colonoscope. " 06/07/2009 - "METHODS: A total of 25 patients (20 female and five male: aged 18-75 years), with at least one symptom of stricture not passable with the standard colonoscope and with a confirmed scarred Crohn's stricture of the lower gastrointestinal tract, were included in the study. " 12/01/2007 - "Past studies have reported the indications of EBD to include stricture, which is defined as a narrowed anastomosis through which a 12-mm-diameter colonoscope cannot be passed. " 06/07/2009 - "Of the 31 strictures, in 30 was balloon dilatation successful in a single endoscopic session, so that eventually the strictures could be passed easily with the standard colonoscope. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
4.	Adenoma (Adenomas) 01/01/2008 - "BACKGROUND & AIMS: The aim of this study was to see if a 170 degrees angle of view (wide angle [WA]) colonoscope allowed faster withdrawal without decreasing adenoma detection. " 12/14/2006 - "To assess the performance of screening colonoscopy in everyday practice, we conducted a study of the rates of detection of adenomas and the amount of time taken to withdraw the colonoscope among endoscopists in a large community-based practice. " 03/01/2010 - "These results suggest that, compared with a colonoscope alone, a retrograde-viewing device can increase detection rates for clinically significant adenomas without detriment to procedure time or procedure complications. " 03/01/2010 - "A total of 100 adenomas were detected with the colonoscope and 16 more with the TER, a 16.0% increase (P < .001). " 10/01/2009 - "White light colonoscope was compared with NBI for adenoma detection during colonoscopy. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
5.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 09/01/2007 - "In the present study, we experimentally examined the feasibility of two-colonoscope surgery using two types of forceps to achieve safe, reliable, and complete endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR)/endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of large superficial tumors in the right colon. " 06/01/2009 - "We hypothesized that left-sided, circumferential, near-obstructing lesions and/or inability to advance the colonoscope beyond the primary tumor are associated with symptomatic bowel obstruction and are indications for prophylactic primary tumor resection (PTR) or colonic diversion. " 10/01/2008 - "Colonoscope showed advanced cancer of the ascending colon. " 02/01/2008 - "Preoperative localization of colonic tumors using transabdominal illumination of the colonoscope." 09/01/2007 - "Based on these results, two-colonoscope surgery is considered clinically promising as a next-generation EMR/ESD technique for safe, reliable, and complete resection of superficial tumors of the right colon measuring 3 cm or more in diameter."
