| [ Summary ] | We are urged to conduct high-precision endoscopic examinations before determining "management of diminutive polyps". We perform the observing methods using a device termed a "Non traumatic tube" for routine colonoscopic observations. We believe a small number of observations of the blind side are possible using this device. We also performed retrospective examinations, in order to prove the usefulness of this device. As a result, the group in which this device was used showed one about 3 times the number of lesions than the group, in which it was not used. That group exhibited higher rates in the cecum-ascending colon, and the sigmoid colon. Moreover, a strong tendency for development of diminutive polyps was shown. Furthermore, this method was excellent for observing lesions of 10 mm or larger. As mentioned above, the usefulness of this observing method was shown. | |
