Prospective Randomized Controlled Study of Cap Assisted Colonoscopy for the Detection of Colon Polyps


The investigators hypothesize that adenoma detection rate will be higher using cap assisted
colonoscopy compared to standard colonoscopy. Also, cap assisted colonoscopy will be safe
and cecal intubation rate will be similar compared to standard colonoscopy.

Specific Aim 1 - To compare the prevalence of adenomas detected by standard colonoscopy and
cap assisted colonoscopy.

Specific Aim 2 - To compare the number of adenomas detected per subject by standard
colonoscopy and cap assisted colonoscopy.

Specific aim 3 - To compare the cecal intubation rate, insertion time, withdrawal time and
complications of standard colonoscopy and cap assisted colonoscopy.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Referral for screening and/or surveillance colonoscopy and the ability to provide
informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

- prior surgical resection of any portion of colon,

- prior history of colon cancer,

- history of inflammatory bowel disease,

- use of anti-platelet agents or anticoagulants that precludes removal of polyps during
the procedure,

- poor general condition or any other reason to avoid prolonged procedure time

- inability to give informed consent,

- inadequate bowel preparation.

- history of polyposis syndrome or HNPCC,

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:
