Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Deep sedation compared with moderate sedation in polyp detection during colonoscopy: a randomized controlled trial.
The detection rate of adenomas is one of the current quality indicators in high-quality colonoscopy. We compared the performance of colonoscopy for the detection of polyps in patients sedated with deep and moderate sedation. Secondary objectives included the patient's and the endoscopist's satisfaction, recovery time and the adverse events related to sedation between the two groups. ⋯ The study demonstrated no difference in the detection of polyps by colonoscopy using deep or moderate sedation.

The National Training Programme in laparoscopic colorectal surgery was set up in 2008 to introduce laparoscopic colorectal surgery nationwide in a safe and structured way. ⋯ This successful and novel training model may be a training paradigm for other surgical and interventional specialities.
