Proficient colonoscopy technique that optimises patient comfort while simultaneously enhancing the timely detection of pathology and subsequent therapy is an aspirational and achievable goal for every endoscopist. This article aims to provide strategies to improve colonoscopy quality for both endoscopists and patients.

Intestinal ultrasound at diagnosis of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease compared to endoscopy.
J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr
December 2024
Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Department of Pediatrics, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, USA.
Objectives: Intestinal ultrasound (IU) has emerged as an alternative to detect bowel wall inflammation. The aim of this study was to compare IU findings to clinical disease, fecal calprotectin (FC), and endoscopic findings in newly diagnosed pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients.
Methods: This study was a 1-year, single-center, prospective study.
Discordance between MR enterography and endoscopic detection of Crohn's disease ileal strictures: evidence to inform recommendations.
Abdom Radiol (NY)
December 2024
Mayo Clinic, Rochester, USA.
Purpose: To evaluate correlation between terminal ileal (TI) stricture diagnosis at MR enterography (MRE) and ileocolonoscopy (IC) in patients with Crohn's disease (CD).
Methods: One hundred and four patients with CD (51% females; 41 ± 15 years) underwent IC and MRE within 3 months in this retrospective case-control study. Positive cases had TI strictures diagnosed by endoscopy (n = 35); or MRE (threshold small bowel dilation ≥ 3cm; n = 34).

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which encompasses ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract that presents complex diagnostic and management challenges. Early detection and treatment of IBD is paramount, as IBD can present with serious complications, including bowel perforation, arthritis, and colorectal cancer. Most forms of diagnosis and therapeutic management, like ileocolonoscopy and upper endoscopy are highly invasive and require extensive preparation at great discomfort to patients.

Lancet Gastroenterol Hepatol
January 2025
Hospital du Haut-Leveque, Pessac, France.
Background: Approximately half of patients with Crohn's disease require ileocolonic resection. Of these, 50% will subsequently have endoscopic disease recurrence within 1 year. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vedolizumab to prevent postoperative recurrence of Crohn's disease.

Ann Gastroenterol
October 2024
Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Mayo Clinic in Florida, Jacksonville, FL, USA (Haily Vora, Ramez Ibrahim, Johanna Chan, Francis A. Farraye, Jana G. Hashash).
Background: The terminal ileum is typically examined during colonoscopies, especially in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and diarrhea. The yield from performing biopsies of endoscopically normal appearing terminal ileum is less clear, and may be associated with greater costs, healthcare utilization and risk. We aimed to determine whether the biopsy results from endoscopically normal terminal ileum affect clinical management.
