Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate FUSE-colonoscopy in terms of feasibility and its possible additive contribution in the detection of important lesions, namely polyps and cancers, compared to the standard "forward-viewing" approach, with and without the addition of the right-colon retroflexion technique, in a series of patients undergoing back-to-back screening or surveillance colonoscopies in a randomized fashion.
