Mo1645 G-EYE COLONOSCOPY IMPROVES ADENOMA DETECTION AND FACILITATES POLYP REMOVAL

G-EYE colonoscopy (Smart Medical Systems Ltd., Israel) is a newly available technology which comprises a permanently mounted balloon at the distal tip of an otherwise normal standard colonoscope (see figure). The balloon is insufflated during withdrawal which allows significant improved detection of adenomas due to better mucosal exposition behind colonic folds (Gastrointest Endosc 2019 Mar;89(3):545-553). In addition, the anchoring balloon pressure can be used to position the endoscope in front of colonic polyp to facilitate polyp removal.
