Experience of the Using SonoScape HD-330 System for Videoimage Endoscopy to Diagnose Colon Pathologies
Study Objective: To assess the potential of the SonoScape HD-330 system for videoimage endoscopy to diagnose and treat colorectal cancer (CRC) within the scope of the perspective colon disease screening, including CRC. Study Design: Perspective experimental study. Materials and Methods: 108 patients underwent 108 diagnostic and treatment colonoscopy using SonoScape HD-330 system for videoimage endoscopy: 52 (48.1%) male and 56 (51.9%) female. The age varied from 20 to 82 years (51 ± 31 years). Study Results: The design features of endoscope include slight rigidity in the flexible part. On the one hand it limits flexibility and rotation, on the other hand it facilitates passage of mobile colon sections with loops. The SonoScape HD-330 system has a very user-friendly interface and settings; it allows video recording without any external storage devices. No complications were recorded during treatment and diagnostics. When the information on training of medical professionals was analysed, it was found out that there is an evident tendency towards reduction in the intubation duration of the head of blind colon with increase in the number of investigations. Conclusion: The SonoScape HD-330 system for videoimage endoscopy has proven to be highly efficient and reliable for routine operation in screening colonoscopy.
