Brief summary
Megachannel is a newly developed colonic access system allowing rapid and multiple passes of the colonoscope to the right colon. The investigators want to conduct a multinational study to evaluate the safety and clinical feasibility of placing a 100 cm Megachannel prototype in the right colon.
Detailed description
Patients scheduled for colonoscopy with suspected right colonic polypoid lesions will be included. The prototype will loaded onto a 160 cm lower GI endoscope and introduced via colonoscopic guidance. Time to cecum, total investigation time, clinical feasibility and complications will be recorded.
Interventions
DEVICEColonoscopy with Megachannel™ device loaded
Before colonoscopy, megachannel is loaded on the endoscope, during colonoscopy megachannel will be inserted into the patient via the endoscope placed in the colon
