Sa1943 COECAL INTUBATION TIME WITH THE 3D NAVIGATION SYSTEM SCOPEPILOT VERSUS STANDARD COLONOSCOPY

The successful intubation of the coecum is one of the main challenges in colonoscopy. Looping of the endoscope could hinder reaching the coecum or even makes it impossible. The 3D navigation system SCOPEPILOT by Pentax allows a real time position monitoring of the endoscope during colonoscopy useing MRI-technology and should facilitate the intubation of the coecum. The aim of this study was to compare the coecal intubation time with SCOPEPILOT versus standard endoscopy.
