Popis: Background & Aims: The newly introduced G-EYE colonoscope (G-EYE) employs a balloon, installed at the bending section of a standard colonoscope (SC), for increasing adenoma detection and stabilizing the colonoscope tip during intervention. This retrospective work explores the effect of introducing G-EYE into an SC endoscopy room, in terms of adenoma detection and polyp removal time. Patients and Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective study. Historical data of patients which underwent colonoscopy prior to, and following, introduction of G-EYE into a particular endoscopy room, were collected and analyzed to determine adenoma detection rate (ADR), adenoma per patient (APP), and polyp removal time (PRT), in each of the SC and G-EYE groups. Results: Records of 1362 patients who underwent SC and 1433 subsequent patients who underwent G-EYE colonoscopy in the same endoscopy unit by same endoscopists, were analyzed. Following G-EYE introduction, overall ADR increased by 37.5% (p20mm (p
