Objective: This study aimed to identify the computed tomographic colonography (CTC) findings of incomplete colonoscopy compared with those of complete colonoscopy.
Methods: The clinical data and CTC imaging data from January 2004 to December 2012 were retrospectively obtained at 2 different institutions and reviewed by the central review system. A total of 71 patients who underwent both videocolonoscopy and CTC were included in this study. The CTC findings and clinical data were evaluated for the completeness of colonoscopy.
Results: In the CTC analysis, differences in total colon length, abdominal circumference, and sigmoid colon diameter were statistically significant between both groups (P < 0.05). Body mass index (BMI) and height were identified as significant clinical factors influencing the completeness of colonoscopy. In multiple logistic regression tests, only BMI and sigmoid colon diameter were independent factors (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: High BMI larger diameter of sigmoid colon was associated with incomplete colonoscopy based on CTC.

Background: Neoadjuvant combination immunotherapy is a potential treatment option for patients with proficient mismatch repair/microsatellite stable colorectal cancer. Preoperative screening via endoscopy and imaging examinations could help identify patients who may potentially achieve a complete response after neoadjuvant combination immunotherapy. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of endoscopic and imaging examinations in predicting pathological complete response after neoadjuvant combination immunotherapy.

Background: This study investigates the effectiveness of a three-dimensional reconstruction mathematical model (3D-IPR) for preoperative planning in locally advanced colon cancer (LACC) with threatened surgical margins. The objective was to evaluate the utility of a 3D-IPR surgical planner tool in cases of LACC with threatened surgical margins. Additionally, the study aims to compare the diagnostic accuracy of the 3D-IPR model against conventional CT scans in determining the infiltration of neighboring structures.

Granular cell tumors are rare neoplasms originating from Schwann cells found in various organs. GCTs are seldom reported in the gastrointestinal tract. Pre-operative detection and diagnosis of colonic GCTs is challenging since the tumors are mainly asymptomatic, small, slow-growing, and submucosal.

Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) is a non-invasive method for visualising the colon, but its clinical adoption has been slow. Although the COVID-19 pandemic reignited interest in CCE, its role in conventional gastrointestinal investigations remains unclear, leading to varied practices across Europe. This highlights the need for a comprehensive understanding of diverse approaches to CCE in clinical practice.

Background: Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), now known as disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBIs), such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Functional Dyspepsia (FD), significantly impact global health, reducing quality of life and burdening healthcare systems. This study addresses the epidemiological gap in Poland, focusing on the West Pomeranian Voivodeship.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 2070 Caucasian patients (58.
