High definition endoscopy is the accepted standard in colonoscopy. However, an important problem is missed polyps.Our objective was to assess the additional adenoma detection rate between high definition colonoscopy with tone enhancement (digital chromoendoscopy) vs. white light high definition colonoscopy.In this prospective randomized trial patients were included to undergo a tandem colonoscopy. The first exam was a white light colonoscopy with removal of all visualized polyps. The second examination was randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio as either again white light colonoscopy (Group A) or colonoscopy with tone enhancement (Group B). Primary endpoint was the adenoma detection rate during the second withdrawal (sample size calculation - 40 per group).67 lesions (Group A: n=34 vs. Group B: n=33) in 80 patients (mean age 61 years, male 64%) were identified on the first colonoscopy. The second colonoscopy detected 78 additional lesions: n=60 with tone enhancement vs. n=18 with white light endoscopy (p0.001). Tone enhancement found more additional adenomas (A n=20 vs. B n=6, p=0.006) and identified significantly more missed adenomas per subject (0.5 vs. 0.15, p=0.006).High definition plus colonoscopy with tone enhancement detected more adenomas missed by white light colonoscopy.
