“…This is in accordance to other reports indicating a benefit in technical performance of CAC with significant shortening of time for cecal intubation or for the whole procedure [29 -31, 33, 35]. This effect of the cap might be beneficial especially for unexperienced endoscopists [29,40]. Since colonoscopies were performed by experienced investigators in our study, the difference in investigation time between CAC and CC was small (1 minute) and therefore not of clinical relevance.…”

“…7 ADR of trainees is generally lower than that of experts 23,24 and has been reported to be 23%-36%. [25][26][27] Although a previous study reported no significant difference in ADR between EAC and CAC, 19 differences between these procedures when performed by trainees remain unclear. In the present study, the cecal intubation rate and time were similar between the two groups.…”

Endocuff-Assisted versus Cap-Assisted Colonoscopy Performed by Trainees: A Retrospective Study

et al. 2020

Background/Aims: The adenoma detection rate (ADR) of screening colonoscopies performed by trainees is often lower than that of colonoscopies performed by experts. The efficacy of cap-assisted colonoscopy (CAC) in adenoma detection is well documented, especially that of CACs performed by trainees. Endocuff, a new endoscopic cap, is reportedly useful for adenoma detection; however, no trials have compared the efficacy of Endocuff-assisted colonoscopy (EAC) and CAC conducted by trainees. Therefore, the present study retrospectively compared the efficacy between EAC and CAC in trainees. Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective study involving 305 patients who underwent either EAC or CAC performed by three trainees between January and December 2018. We evaluated the ADR, mean number of adenomas detected per patient (MAP), cecal intubation rate, cecal intubation time, and occurrence of complications between the EAC and CAC groups. Results: The ADR was significantly higher in the EAC group than in the CAC group (54.3% vs. 37.3%, p=0.019), as was the MAP (1.36 vs. 0.74, p=0.003). No significant differences were found between the groups with respect to the cecal intubation rate or cecal intubation time. No major complications occurred in either group. Conclusions: Our results suggest that EAC exhibits increased ADR and MAP compared to CAC when performed by trainees. Clin
