Many experts now routinely examine the proximal colon twice because colonoscopy is less protective against colorectal cancer in the proximal colon than in the distal colon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this randomized controlled trial, 840 patients first underwent a forward-view examination from the appendiceal orifice to the splenic flexure.

The proximal adenoma detection rates (ADRs) were 25.2% with 1 examination and 35.7% with 2 examinations. Whole-colon ADR with 2 proximal colon examinations was also higher at 44% versus 34% in those who received only 1 proximal colon examination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
