Panoramic Colonoscopy in Colorectal Cancer Screening: Randomized Controlled Trial

Colonoscopy is the most commonly performed endoscopic examination worldwide and is considered the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening.The quality of examination and endoscopic treatment is affected by a number of factors that are verified by recognized parameters, such as cecal intubation rate and time, withdrawal time, adenoma detection rate and polyp detection rate.The aim of the study was to assess the suitability of 330-degree panoramic colonoscopy for the detection of colorectal lesions and to analyze the functionality of a special endoscope series in regard to cecal intubation rate, cecal intubation time, and withdrawal time.
