Impact of Experience on Results With the Third Eye Retroscope

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Colorectal Neoplasms

In brief

The Third Eye Retroscope is a device that can be used with a colonoscope to improve the ability of a physician to see areas of the colon that may be hidden from the view of the colonoscope. Previous studies have shown that physicians are able to detect additional polyps when they use the device along with the colonoscope. The purpose of this study is to determine whether physicians can detect greater numbers of additional polyps as they gain in experience with the device.
