Background: The Endocuff Vision device (Arc Medical Design Ltd., Leeds, UK) has been shown to increase mucosal exposure, and consequently adenoma detection rate (ADR), during colonoscopy. This nationwide multicenter study assessed possible benefits and harms of using Endocuff Vision in a fecal immunochemical test (FIT)-based screening program.
Methods: Patients undergoing colonoscopy after a FIT-positive test were randomized 1:1 to undergo Endocuff-assisted colonoscopy or standard colonoscopy, stratified by sex, age, and screening history. Primary outcome was ADR. Secondary outcomes were ADR stratified by endoscopists' ADR, advanced ADR (AADR), adenomas per colonoscopy (APC), withdrawal time, and adverse events.
Results: 1866 patients were enrolled across 13 centers. After exclusions, 1813 (mean age 60.1 years; male 53.8 %) were randomized (908 Endocuff Vision, 905 standard colonoscopy). ADR was significantly higher in the Endocuff Vision arm (47.8 % vs. 40.8 %; relative risk [RR] 1.17, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.06-1.30), with no differences between arms regarding size or morphology. When stratifying for endoscopists' ADR, only low detectors (ADR < 33.3 %) showed a statistically significant ADR increase (Endocuff Vision 41.1 % [95 %CI 35.7-46.7] vs. standard colonoscopy 26.0 % [95 %CI 21.3-31.4]). AADR (24.8 % vs. 20.5 %, RR 1.21, 95 %CI 1.02-1.43) and APC (0.94 vs. 0.77; = 0.001) were higher in the Endocuff Vision arm. Withdrawal time and adverse events were similar between arms.
Conclusion: Endocuff Vision increased ADR in a FIT-based screening program by improving examination of the whole colonic mucosa. Utility was highest among endoscopists with a low ADR.

Colonoscopy Remains an Important Option for Primary Screening for Colorectal Cancer.

Article Synopsis
- - Colonoscopy is the most commonly used screening test for colorectal cancer in the U.S., with high sensitivity for detecting precancerous lesions, allowing screenings every 10 years, and possibly every 15 years for those with normal results.
- - There is substantial evidence showing colonoscopy reduces colorectal cancer incidence and mortality, supported by various studies, including comparisons with other screening methods like flexible sigmoidoscopy.
- - Advances in colonoscopy techniques, such as improved mucosal exposure methods and non-device strategies, have enhanced detection rates of precancerous lesions, along with safer resection techniques for small lesions, increasing the effectiveness of this screening option.

Background: Independent use of artificial intelligence with computer-aided detection (CADe) and Endocuff Vision (ECV) has demonstrated enhanced adenoma detection rates (ADRs).
Objective: Our pilot study aimed to define the necessary participant number for future randomized controlled trials (RCTs) by comparing the ADR of combined CADe + ECV against CADe alone and standard colonoscopy.
Design: This single-center pilot study retrospectively analyzed a prospectively maintained database, where patients underwent screening colonoscopies sequentially by standard method, CADe alone, and then CADe + ECV.

Article Synopsis
- * Nine interventions significantly improved ADR, including techniques like dual observation and water exchange, as well as technologies such as i-SCAN and linked color imaging.
- * Despite these improvements, no interventions showed a benefit for detecting advanced adenomas; however, narrow-band imaging was effective in detecting serrated lesions.

Article Synopsis
- Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent cancer that often arises from polyps, prompting a study to compare polyp detection rates between EndoCuff-assisted colonoscopy (EAC) and standard colonoscopy (SC).
- Conducted at Cairo University Hospitals, the study involved 214 patients who underwent both types of colonoscopies from July 2018 to August 2020.
- Results showed EAC significantly improved the detection rates for polyps and adenomas compared to SC, particularly for smaller polyps; however, it did cause some mucosal erosions in a small percentage of patients.

Background And Aims: Endocuff Vision (Olympus Europe, Hamburg, Germany) has been designed to enhance mucosal visualization, thereby improving detection of (pre-)malignant colorectal lesions. This multicenter, international, back-to-back, randomized colonoscopy trial compared the adenoma detection rate (ADR) and adenoma miss rate (AMR) between Endocuff Vision-assisted colonoscopy (EVC) and conventional colonoscopy (CC).
Methods: Patients aged 40 to 75 years referred for non-immunochemical fecal occult blood test-based screening, surveillance, or diagnostic colonoscopy were included at 10 hospitals and randomized into 4 groups: group 1, 2 × CC; group 2, CC followed by EVC; group 3, EVC followed by CC; and group 4, 2 × EVC.
