Brief summary

Colonic transendoscopic enteral tubing (TET) is a novel, safe, convenient, and reliable way for fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and the whole-colon enema treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the methodology, efficiency, feasibility and safety of using transparent cap-assisted endoscopy for colon TET implantation.

Detailed description

Our previous article has reported the method of colon TET. However, the investigators found that it was difficult to find the cavity because of the concentration of intestinal folds caused by the tube pulling after insertion of TET. It is well known that transparent cap-assisted colonoscopy is easier to flatten the semilunar folds and improve mucosal exposure. Here the investigators test the hypothesis that using transparent cap-assisted colonoscopy significantly decreases the second cecal intubation time which not only improve work efficiency, but also saves patients' anesthesia time and cost. Thus, the investigators design a prospective multicenter, randomized controlled trial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the methodology, efficiency, feasibility and safety of using transparent cap-assisted endoscopy for colon TET implantation.

Interventions

The procedure colonic transendoscopic enteral tubing is as follows:The TET tube was inserted into the ileocecal junction through the endoscopy channel at the first time of the cecal intubation after examination and evaluation of the whole colon. Then, the colonoscope was removed from the colon while the TET tube was maintained at the ileocecal junction. Then the endoscopy was inserted into the ileocecum again for affixing the TET tube to cecum with titanium clips.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The second cecal intubation timeone dayRecord the time of colonoscopy from the anus to the ileal flap in the second insertion.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
TET success rateone dayThe success rate of of the TET procedure
Maximum insertion pain scoreone dayUsing numerical rating scale to evaluate maximum insertion pain score in non anesthesia. The digital grading method uses 0-10 to represent different levels of pain, with 0 as painless and 10 as severe. The classification standard of pain degree is: 0: no pain; 1-3: mild pain; 4-6: moderate pain; 7-10: severe pain.
Adverse events rateAll patients were followed up from date of intubation to one mouth after dischargeProcedure-related and tube-related adverse events after procedure
Tubing timeone dayThe tubing time is from advancement of the TET tube through the channel to the end of the tubing.
Titanium clip fixation timeone dayRecord the time required for fixing a titanium clip.
Retention time of tubethree monthRetention time of colonic transendoscopic enteral tubing
