Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to determine the optimal withdrawal time for colonoscopy. A 6-minute withdrawal time is currently the standard of care but has only been evaluated in an observational fashion. The investigators believe that this should be validated in a standardized fashion. If the benefits of a 6 minute withdrawal are proven in this study (ie a low polyp/adenoma miss rate and a high polyp/adenoma detection rate), then this will support widespread adoption of a 6 minute withdrawal as the standard of care. This in turn may decrease the occurence of 'interval colon cancers', which are early colon cancers arising in subjects despite their having undergone colonoscopy. Our hypothesis is that the polyp/adenoma detection rate will be unacceptably low and the polyp/adenoma miss rate will be unacceptably high in the 3-minute withdrawal group when compared to the 6-minute withdrawal group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Polyp/Adenoma Detection Rate

    Polyp/adenoma detection rate will be calculated for each segment of the tandem colonoscopy- this will be calculated as the number of polyps/adenomas that are discovered and resected for each segment of the tandem colonoscopy.

    This will be calculated up to one week after data collection.

  • Polyp/adenoma Miss Rate

    Polyp/adenoma miss rate will be calculated for each segment of the tandem colonoscopy- this will be calculated as the number of polyps/adenomas that are discovered and resected on the tandem portion of each segment of the colonoscopy, divided by the total number of polyps/adenomas that are discovered/resected.

    Polyp/adenoma miss rate will be calculated up to one week after data collection.

Study Arms (2)

3-minute withdrawal time

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

For subjects randomized to the 3-minute withdrawal time, advancement to the cecum will be followed by segmental withdrawal in each of 3 segments of the examined colon. Each segment will be examined over 1 minute, followed by a "second look" over each segment over 2 minutes by the same endoscopist.

Procedure: 3-minute withdrawal time

6-minute withdrawal time

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

For subjects randomized to the 6-minute withdrawal, advancement to the cecum will be followed by segmental withdrawal in each of 3 segments of the examined colon. Each segment will be examined over 2 minutes, followed by a "second look" over each segment over 2 minutes by the same endoscopist.

Procedure: 6-minute withdrawal time

Interventions

For subjects randomized to the 3-minute withdrawal time, advancement to the cecum will be followed by segmental withdrawal in each of 3 segments of the examined colon. Each segment will be examined over 1 minute, followed by a "second look" over each segment over 2 minutes by the same endoscopist.

3-minute withdrawal time

For subjects randomized to the 6-minute withdrawal, advancement to the cecum will be followed by segmental withdrawal in each of 3 segments of the examined colon. Each segment will be examined over 2 minutes, followed by a "second look" over each segment over 2 minutes by the same endoscopist.
