Position Changes During Colonoscope Withdrawal and Polyp Detection
Position Changes During Colonoscope Withdrawal to Increase Polyp Detection: a Prospective Randomized Trial

The purpose of this study is to determine whether position changes during colonoscope withdrawal affects polyp detection rate. We hypothesize that positions change during scope withdrawal will increase polyp detection rate.

Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
Colonic Polyp
  • Procedure: Position change
    Patients will be randomly assigned to two groups: Control group (those who will receive standard colonoscopy without position changes) and Position change group (those who will undergo position changes during colonoscope withdrawal during colonoscopy). Subjects in position change group will be asked to shift into three different positions during colonoscope withdrawal.
  • Procedure: Standard
    Subjects will undergo standard colonoscopy without position changes during scope withdrawal.
  • Placebo Comparator: Control
    Subject will undergo standard colonoscopy.
    Intervention: Procedure: Standard
  • Active Comparator: Position change
    Subject will under go standard colonoscopy, but also with position changes during colonoscope withdrawal.
    Intervention: Procedure: Position change
