Segmental Withdrawal During Screening Colonoscopy Does Not Increase Adenoma Detection Rate.

CONCLUSIONS: Overall, there was no benefit from a segmental withdrawal protocol on ADR, but this may have been the result of the inherent limitations in the study design. After sensitivity analysis, a segmental withdrawal protocol led to an improvement in the detection of adenomas per colonoscopy and polyps per colonoscopy. A larger sample size is needed to confirm these findings. PMID: 32885263 [PubMed - in process]
