Technology Status Evaluation Reports

Technology status evaluation reports provide a review of existing, new, or emerging endoscopic technologies that have an impact on the practice of GI endoscopy. Reports are based on an evaluation of medical literature and a search of the MAUDE (U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Devices and Radiological Health) database to identify the reported adverse events of a given technology. When financial guidance is indicated, the most recent coding data and list prices at the time of publication are provided. Technology status evaluation reports are scientific reviews based on expert consensus and are provided solely for educational and informational purposes.

The members of the ASGE Technology Committee provide ongoing conflict of interest (COI) disclosures throughout the development and publication of all documents in accordance with the ASGE Policy for Managing Declared Conflicts of Interests.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact Customer Support at Info@asge.org.

The following information is intended only to provide general information and not as a definitive basis for diagnosis or treatment in any particular case. It is very important that you consult your doctor about your specific condition.

Devices and methods to improve colonoscopy completion (with videos) 2018

Feb 23, 2018, 12:54
There are multiple diagnostic and therapeutic indica- tions for colonoscopy. Quality guidelines recommend a cecal intubation rate of at least 90% for all colonoscopies and 95% for screening colonoscopies.1,2 Incomplete colo- noscopy (IC), defined as the inability to reach the cecum,3,4 can result in missed colorectal cancer5 and results in increased healthcare expenditure related to follow-up procedures (eg, repeat colonoscopy or CT colo- nography). Reported rates of IC range from 4% to 25% for both screening and nonscreening colonoscopy.6 Risk factors for IC that relate to technical aspects of the colonoscopy include looping, a redundant colon, and sigmoid fixation/angulation, among others.4,6-10 Ideally, IC should be followed by a procedure that has both a high sensitivity for detecting mucosal pathology and offers therapeutic potential.6 This is usually a repeat colonoscopy with a different colonoscope or the addition of a device.6,7,10 Successful completion of colonoscopy is desirable because the yield of neoplasia on repeat colonos- copy after an IC can be as high as 53%.7 In tertiary centers the success rate of repeat colonoscopy after an IC can be as high as 95% to 97%,7,10,11 but there is wide variability in successful cecal intubation in this setting, and success rates as low as 29% have been reported.5 This document reviews devices and techniques that improve colonoscopy completion that can be applied during a challenging index colonoscopy or for patients returning after a previous IC. Although other diagnostic modalities such as CT colonography or video capsule colonoscopy are also viable options after IC, these technologies are beyond the scope of this document and are not discussed.
