Background and Aims Water-aided colonoscopy techniques, such as water immersion (WI)
and water exchange (WE), have shown different results regarding adenoma detection rate …

Opinion statement The current review will attempt to describe the important lessons learned
from published randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing water immersion (WI) or water …

Background and study aims Single-center studies, which were retrospective and/or involved
unblinded colonoscopists, have suggested that water exchange, but not water immersion …

Objectives: Adenoma detection rate (ADR) is a key colonoscopy quality indicator in Western
clinical literature. Our low ADR prompted us to assess novel methods to improve …

Background and Aims Adenoma detection rate (ADR), defined as the proportion of patients
with at least one adenoma of any size, is a quality indicator. We tested the hypothesis that …

Importance Research demonstrates adenoma detection rate (ADR) and proximal sessile
serrated polyp detection rate (pSSPDR) are associated with endoscopist characteristics …

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide and the second most common
cause of cancer-related death in Europe and North America. Colonoscopy is the gold …

Background and Aims Water exchange (WE) is the least painful insertion method during
colonoscopy. Its impact on postcolonoscopy discomfort has not been well-described …

Background Recent meta-analyses have demonstrated a higher adenoma detection rate
using the water exchange method (WE), compared to water immersion (WI) and air/CO 2 …

Water-assisted colonoscopy (WAC) application in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD)
