Colonoscopes

07/01/2022 - "Polyp size estimated at 3 cm from the colonoscope's tip yielded the best results. "
03/01/2014 - "The new colonoscope had less image blurring, improved subjective quality of stored images, and increased the proportion of high confidence endoscopic estimates of polyp histology, but did not improve accuracy in estimating polyp histology."
10/01/2012 - "There was no difference between high- and standard-definition colonoscopes when white light was used, but FICE significantly improved the in vivo diagnosis of small polyps when high-definition scopes were used compared with standard definition."
01/01/2020 - "Technologies that allow for increased visual field of colonic mucosa and may lead to improved colon polyp detection rates include cap-assisted colonoscopy, RetroView, extra-wide-angle view colonoscope, full-spectrum endoscopy, Third Eye Retroscope, NaviAid G-EYE balloon colonoscope, EndoRings, and Endocuff. "
01/01/2016 - "To assess the efficacy of Endocuff, a special attachment was fixed at the distal tip of a colonoscope, for the polyp detection. "

08/01/2017 - "Use of a cap or hood on the tip of the colonoscope has been shown to improve overall adenoma detection with variable rates. "
01/01/2018 - "Previous studies have shown that multiple colonoscope features have to be changed before an improvement in adenoma detection rate (ADR) becomes obvious, such as with changing from one instrument generation to the next but one. "

01/01/2017 - "Olympus H290 LUCERA ELITE HD colonoscopes improved adenoma detection within the moderate-risk population. "
09/01/2023 - "Background and study aims  The newly introduced G-EYE colonoscope (G-EYE) employs a balloon, installed at the bending section of a standard colonoscope (SC), for increasing adenoma detection and stabilizing the colonoscope tip during intervention. "

11/25/2023 - "In addition, the stricture showed marked improvement, and the colonoscope could pass easily through the stricture site. "
01/01/2021 - "The present study showed that the stent implantation technique assisted by a slim gastroscope combined with a normal colonoscope was a relatively safe and effective method for abolishing difficult intestinal 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 - "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. "
03/01/2015 - "CD patients with strictures that could not be passed with a conventional colonoscope were eligible for entry into the study. "

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 - "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]."

10/01/2008 - "After implementing a protocol of careful inspection during a minimum of 8 minutes to withdraw the colonoscope, we observed significantly greater rates of overall and advanced neoplasia detection during screening colonoscopy."
03/01/2001 - "The pediatric colonoscope helped increase our yield of neoplasia by 19%. "
01/01/2016 - "The objective of this study was to build and test an adjunct system to a colonoscope for in vivo measurement of Raman spectra from colon tissue for potentially improving the detection of early cancers. "
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. "
01/01/2023 - "We report a case of successful SEMS placement with a colonoscope for the obstruction of the third portion of the duodenum due to uncinate process cancer. "
