Pooling 16 randomized controlled studies, this meta-analysis demonstrated that CAC may not necessarily improve the detection of adenomas, but did reduce time to cecal intubation.

Excellent original study demonstrating the positive effects of didactic learning sessions and performance feedback on improvement in adenoma detection. This study is being used as a model for future educational interventions across academic and private gastroenterology practices.

42. Leung FW, Amato A, Ell C, et al. Water-aided colonoscopy: A systematic review. Gastrointest Endosc 2012; 76:657-666. This systematic review demonstrated that, overall, water-aided colonoscopy may not necessarily improve adenoma detection compared with conventional air insufflation; however, the water-exchange method, compared with the water immersion method, may be slightly advantageous in detecting more adenoma compared with air insufflaton alone.

When used alone, both cap-assist colonoscopy and water-aided colonoscopy may not improve adenoma detection. However, when used in combination, this single center study did show very promising results of increased adenoma detection.

This study raises an important issue on factors related to interval colorectal cancers, with emphasis on incomplete polypectomy. The investigators demonstrated that at least 10% of neoplasms were incompletely resected, with a higher risk for larger polyps and sessile serrated adenomas.

This large retrospective study suggests that piecemeal resection of large colorectal lesions risks leaving behind residual neoplastic tissue, and, furthermore, techniques in EMR still need improvement.
