Summary
Cap assisted colonoscopy, a simple technique of fixing a transparent plastic cap to the tip of the colonoscope, was proven to increase the adenoma detection rate during screening colonoscopy by helping to depress and flatten colonic folds, thereby improving visualization and decreasing blind mucosal areas. The usefulness of cap assisted upper endoscopy (CAE) is still under investigations. The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic yield of the CAE to the standard endoscopy in esophagus.
Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PROCEDURE | cap assisted upper endoscopy | A soft plastic cap is attached to the tip of the scope to allow pressing of the folds and thus enhance the visualization. |
| PROCEDURE | standard upper endoscopy | standard examination without using a cap |
