930 advantage of cap-assisted devices for adenoma detection rate is not enhanced by concomitant use of underwater intubation during colonscopy

Adenoma detection rate (ADR) is inversely related to the risk of interval colorectal cancer and is a primary measure of colonoscopist quality. Multiple studies have shown improved ADR with use of assistive devices, including Endocuff and AmplifEYE. Similarly, use of water exchange or water immersion is associated with improved polyp detection, particularly proximal sessile serrated adenomas, with a trend toward higher detection of adenomas throughout the colon. The potential additive effects of these techniques remain untested.
