Impact of water filling on terminal ileum intubation with a distal-tip mucosal exposure device.

Background And Aims: Endocuff improves detection at colonoscopy but seems to impede terminal ileal (TI) intubation. We assessed the impact of Endocuff Vision (EV) on TI intubation using adult or pediatric colonoscopes and evaluated whether filling the cecum with gas versus water affected the impact of EV on TI intubation.

Methods: Using a prospectively recorded quality control database, we explored the impact of EV on TI intubation in ≤1 minute.
