In this study, three gastroenterologists and three colon and rectal surgeons performed 708 colonoscopies between February and October of 1991. Six hundred one of them were completed to the cecum and confirmed by fluoroscopy. The three cecal landmarks looked for were the ileocecal valve,...

Objective: This is the first clinical series using the Tissue Apposition System (TAS) device in a feasibility study of polypectomy as an alternative to laparoscopic colectomy (LC) for endoscopically unresectable polyps. TAS is a novel T-tag system for endoscopic placement of sutures,...

: ObjectivePolyps are missed during conventional colonoscopy, even with meticulous technique. The aim of this study was to investigate whether a prototype wide angle colonoscope is associated with a reduced miss rate for polyps.: MethodsTwo studies were performed. In study 1, a total of 50...

The article focuses on a study which examined the effectiveness of complete resection by transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) in the management of large adenomas of the rectum. Postoperative complications, histology and incidence of occult adenocarcinoma, residual tumor status and tumor...

The article discusses the results of a study by digestive disease specialist Asheesh Ray of Missouri, that compared standard-definition colonoscopies (SDC) and high-definition colonoscopies (HDC) which found that HDC was not able to significantly improve adenoma or polyp detection rates over SDC.

Up until now, 2%�10% of colonic polyps larger than 2 cm have been considered colonoscopically unresectable. These were commonly treated by piecemeal resection and observation by colonoscopists and hemicolectomy by surgeons. Our minimally invasive �rural solution� in this situation is...

Large, colorectal polyps or those that are difficult to access may be unamenable to conventional snare polypectomy and may require surgical resection. This study was designed to evaluate the resection of such lesions by the use of combined laparoscopic–endoscopic resections (CLER). Patients...

OBJECTIVE: Colonoscopy is the accepted gold standard for detecting colorectal adenomas, but the miss rate, especially for small and flat lesions, remains unacceptably high. The aim of this study was to determine whether enhanced mucosal contrast using pancolonic chromoendoscopy (PCC) allows...
