Article Synopsis
- Postcolonoscopy colorectal cancers often occur in the right colon due to missed adenomas and serrated polyps, and the study investigates whether water exchange (WE) improves detection rates compared to CO2 insufflation.
- A total of 386 patients were randomly assigned to either WE or CO2 insufflation, with a reexamination by a blind endoscopist to determine the miss rate of adenomas and serrated polyps.
- Results showed that WE significantly reduced the miss rates for serrated polyps and increased the detection of serrated polyps in the right colon, suggesting that WE is a promising alternative to traditional CO2 insufflation in colonoscopy.
