Unlabelled: Colonoscopy screening is an effective method to prevent colon cancer through the detection of polyps on which colon cancer develops in a higher percentage; however, the detection of these lesions varies in the different segments of the colon and the detection rate of them in the right colon is usually lower.
Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate whether double endoscopic revision of the right colon during colonoscopy is a mechanism to improve its performance in terms of polyp detection rate (TDP) and adenoma detection rate (ADR).
Materials And Methods: Systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature including randomized clinical trials that evaluated repeat right-sight examination by colonoscopy compared to standard view to improve detection of polyps and adenomas.
Article Synopsis
- Patients with chronic diarrhea frequently undergo colonoscopy, but the effectiveness of biopsies during these evaluations is debated.
- A retrospective study from 2015 to 2019 reviewed 535 patients, revealing that over half underwent biopsies, with 55.1% resulting in a definitive histopathological diagnosis.
- The study concluded that colonoscopy and biopsies are valuable for diagnosing chronic diarrhea, achieving a histological diagnosis for more than half of the patients, although ileoscopy provided less additional information.
Background And Aims: Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn's Disease (CD) have a major impact on quality of life and medical costs. The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence, incidence and clinical phenotypes of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) cases in Mexico and Colombia.
Methods: We analyzed official administrative and health databases, used mathematical modelling to estimate the incidence and complete prevalence, and performed a case-series of IBD patients at a referral center both in Mexico and Colombia.
