About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Adenoma focused on measuring Screening colonoscopy

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adult Hispanic patients (18-80) who are undergoing colonoscopy for screening or surveillance purposes.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients younger than 18 yrs old or older than 80 yrs.
  2. Patients with a prior history of colonic surgeries
  3. Patient with Crohns colitis or ulcerative colitis.
  4. Patient with prior history of colon cancer
  5. Patient with poor bowel preparation

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Cap Assisted Colonoscopy

Conventional colonoscopy

Arm Description

Cap Assisted Colonoscopy uses a Cap which is a transparent hood which is attached to the distal end of the colonscope and allows depressing the colon folds in order to visualize hidden polyps behind the folds.

A conventional colonoscopy does not use a Cap in order to perform the procedure

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

ADR Differences in Hispanic Patients Undergoing a Screening Colonoscopy With and Without Cap.
1. Compare ADR between Hispanic patients undergoing a screening colonoscopy with and without cap.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a research study about the usefulness of transparent cap during screening colonoscopy. The purpose of the research is to test the usefulness of adding small cap to the tip of the colonoscope. the investigators hypothesis is that Cap assisted colonoscopy will improve the detection of adenomatous polyps (polyps which can become colon cancer later on) in comparison to the standard colonoscopy.
Detailed Description
This is a prospective, randomized trial comparing the adenoma detection rate between Hispanic patients undergoing a screening colonoscopy with a conventional colonoscope or with a cap-assisted colonoscopy. The aims of the study are: Compare ADR between Hispanic patients undergoing a screening colonoscopy with and without cap. Compare the overall polyp detection rate between Hispanic patients undergoing a screening colonoscopy with and without cap. Compare the cecal intubation rate and cecal intubation time between standard colonoscopy and cap assisted colonoscopy. Compare the complication rate between standard colonoscopy and cap assisted colonoscopy.
