Impact of cap-assisted colonoscopy during transendoscopic enteral tubing: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Colonic transendoscopic enteral tubing (TET) requires double cecal intubation, raising a common concern of how to save cecal intubation time and make the tube stable. We hypothesized that cap-assisted colonoscopy (CC) might reduce the second cecal intubation time and bring potential benefits during the TET procedure.

Aim: To investigate if CC can decrease the second cecal intubation time compared with regular colonoscopy (RC).
