Pointers for Increasing Colonoscopy Efficacy – MM1504
In the past decade, the colonoscopy procedure has been largely studied to improve colorectal lesions detection resulting in the identification of quality indicators for colonoscopy procedure. Successful colonoscopy depends upon a number of factors including correct cecum intubation, cleaning of the colon, careful mucosal inspection and operator experience. With the rapidly rising costs of healthcare and the need to rationalise spending, it is important to spare costly repeat procedures, as in the cases of incomplete colonoscopy. Bowel preparation is essential for both the quality of the colonoscopy and the adenoma or adenocarcinoma detection rate.)
