However, colonoscopy is less effective in preventing colon cancer in the right side compared with the left side.AIM To investigate the feasibility of a novel type of retroflexion colonoscope, EC-3490 Ti colonoscope, for detection of proximal colon lesions.METHODS In this prospective trial, we recruited patients who underwent colonoscopy for screening or surveillance. When the endoscopists could not grasp the whole observation of the right-side colon mucosa in the forward view(FV), insertion and withdrawal were repeatedly performed in the FV group with the EC38-i10 F colonoscope while retroflexion was performed in the retroflexed view(RV) group with the EC-3490 Ti colonoscope. Adenoma detection rate, the total number of adenomas per positive participant, the success rate of retroflexion, and endoscope withdrawal time were recorded and compared.RESULTS The total adenoma detection rate(39.3% vs 37.7%, P = 0.646) did not show any significant difference between the two groups. However, the polyp detection rate(59.6% vs 51.0%, P = 0.002), adenoma detection rate in the right colon(21.6% vs 14.4%, P = 0.012), and the total number of adenomas per positive participant(2.1 vs 1.7, P = 0.011) reached statistical significance. Retroflexion was achieved in 91.7% of our cohort. Compared with the FV group, the withdrawal time was significantly prolonged in the RV group(586.1 ± 124.4 s vs 508.8 ± 129.6 s, P < 0.001). In contrast, the proportion of additional ancillary pressure decreased(27.4% vs 45.7%, P < 0.001), and the visual analog scale pain scores did not increase(2.7 ± 1.4 vs 2.8 ± 1.4, P = 0.377).CONCLUSION Retroflexion in the proximal colon could be performed successfully and safely with the EC-3490 Ti colonoscope. This maneuver could detect more adenomas effectively.展开更多
