No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to see if use of ScopeGuide, as compared to the traditional colonoscope, improves successful completion of colonoscopy procedures as evaluated by ease of completion, time to completion, and reduction in the number of mechanical loops and external maneuvers required to advance the scope. Other outcome measures include looking at the amount of sedation required (independent of weight) and polyp rate detection.

Conditions

  • Colonoscopy, Colorectal

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Scope Guide Assist

Olympus has developed a new instrument which provides physicians a real-time, three dimensional visualization of position and configuration during colonoscopy. The Olympus ScopeGuide technology has received FDA clearance and can be used within the United States. The new technology called the 'scopeguide' has been developed that uses magnetic coils embedded into the scope to create a 3 D image of the shape of the entire scope inside the body that is projected onto the monitor to see. This acts as a "GPS" and shows the advancement of the scope through bends providing information on loops and thereby eliminating chances of loop formation, helping in loop reduction and also reducing the number of external maneuvers that may be required for the completion of colonoscopy.

PROCEDURE

Standard procedure for colonoscopy
