Behavioral Interventions Have a Large Impact on Colonoscopy Uptake
Papillary Morphology Predicts Difficult Biliary Cannulation
Successful and safe ERCP requires the endoscopist to cannulate the duct of interest successfully and efficiently. Although operator skill clearly influences procedure success, there is
You Removed a Small Lesion With High-grade Dysplasia or Cancer Using a Cold Snare, Now What?
Cold snare polypectomy is now the resection method of choice for colorectal lesions ≤10 mm in size. The risk of resecting a cancerous lesion in
Surveillance Colonoscopy Recommended Too Often in Older Patients With Limited Life Expectancy
Colonoscopists are advised to consider age, comorbidities, and colonoscopy findings before recommending surveillance. In a study of the New Hampshire Colonoscopy Registry, 9831 adults older
Uncontrolled Description of X-Tack Efficacy for Colonic EMR Defects
X-Tack (Apollo Endosurgery, Austin, Texas) is a through-the-scope suturing device that can be an alternative to through-the-scope clips. No controlled trial of X-Tack versus clips
71% of U.S. ESD Patients in Study Were Discharged Without Hospital Admission
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is frequently followed by hospital admission for multiple days in Asian countries. However, hospitalization is much more expensive in the U.S.,
Colonoscopy Screening at Intervals Longer Than 10 Years Is Feasible
Case-control studies and cohort studies have found that colonoscopy prevents colorectal cancer (CRC) for 15 to 20 years or more. However, only a few small
Two Doses of Linaclotide Replaced 1 Liter of Polyethylene Glycol-Electrolyte Lavage Solution in Bowel Preparation for Colonoscopy
In a study from China, 548 patients were randomized to receive 2 L of polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the day of colonoscopy or 290 µg
Update on Adverse Events With Colorectal Endoscopic Full-thickness Resection
This study updates complication rates associated with the full-thickness resection device (FTRD) from a combined Dutch and German registry, with 1892 procedures performed between July
Large Tandem Study Shows 9-Minute Withdrawal Time Better Than 6 Minutes
In a randomized tandem study from China, 2 study arms compared the standard colonoscopy withdrawal time of 6 minutes versus 9 minutes. The colon was
Treat Traditional Serrated Adenomas as Advanced Lesions
Traditional serrated adenomas (TSAs) are rare lesions. They are predominantly in the left side of the colon, and unlike sessile serrated lesions, they can be
Artificial Intelligence Increased Fraction of Colonoscopy Patients Needing 3-Year Surveillance: Relative Increase of 35% and Absolute Increase of 2.9%
This study examined the fraction of patients undergoing colonoscopy with versus without artificial intelligence (AI) in 9 randomized controlled trials (6 parallel and 3 tandem)
Actual Impact of COVID-19 on CRC (8.7% Reduction) and Advanced Adenoma (26.9% Reduction) Diagnoses in a U.S. Health Care System
This study utilized the Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) health care system to evaluate the actual impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on colorectal cancer (CRC).
Again, No Need To Adjust Adenoma Detection Rate After Inclusion of 45- To 49-Year-Olds

Green Tea Does Not Prevent Recurrent Adenomas in Females, but It Might in Males
Green tea contains catechins, which have anticancer properties and reduce the incidence of polyps in mouse models with a mutation in the Adenomatous polyposis coli gene. In
Formal Training in Endoscope Handling and Care Reduces Repair Costs
In the current study, a medical center in Thailand instituted a formal educational program focused on personal awareness of endoscope handling and manipulation, the correct
New Data Indicate That Surgery Rates for Benign Polyps Might Be Finally Declining
Several recent studies have collectively reported that surgery rates for benign colorectal polyps in the U.S. have continued to increase even though surgery results in
Practice Patterns for Stopping Surveillance in Older Patients Are Highly Variable Among Endoscopists
The U.S. Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer recommends individualizing the decision to stop surveillance colonoscopy in patients aged 75 years and older. This is
