Study Summary

Adenoma detection rate (ADR) in colon cancer screening is most important for avoiding colon cancer development. Recent studies suggest a benefit of endoscopic devices attached to the distal tip of the colonoscope for improving the ADR. This work is the first GERMAN randomized controlled trial comparing standard colonoscopy with EndoRIngs-assisted colonoscopy.

EndoRings is a new FDA approved device that is attached to the distal tip of the colonoscope. Better Polyp detection is suspected by flattening the mucosal folds during withdrawal
