Here, we investigated the reproducibility of the insertion of a colonoscope with UPD. Materials and Methods: Study participants were 122 patients who received a colonoscopy with UPD twice for the purpose of large bowel screening and surveillance. The mean age of participants was 69.7 \u00b1 10.4 years, and the male-to-female ratio was 9.2:1. The colonoscope insertion technique was primarily based on the shaft-holding, shortening insertion method. The cecal intubation time was recorded; the method used for passing through the sigmoid\/descending colon junction (SDJ) and the hepatic flexure. Results: The mean cecal intubation time was 990 \u00b1 511 s. The cecal intubation time and the patterns for passing through the SDJ and hepatic flexure were significantly correlated between the first and second colonoscopies. Conclusion: Use of a UPD revealed good reproducibility of colonoscope insertion. This is the first time we have proved that both time and pattern are inserted in much the same way for the first and second times. In patients\u2019 conducted UPD combination TCS after the second time, it was suggested that individual tailor-made insertions are possible based on the information from the first time.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics12112610","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,27]],"date-time":"2022-10-27T20:37:58Z","timestamp":1666903078000},"page":"2610","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Investigation of the New Advantages of Colonoscope Insertion with an Endoscopic Position Detection Unit"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Takashi","family":"Kawai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterological Endoscopy, Tokyo Medical University, Tokyo 160-0023, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yusuke","family":"Kawai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterological Endoscopy, Tokyo Medical University, Tokyo 160-0023, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoshika","family":"Akimoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterological Endoscopy, Tokyo Medical University, Tokyo 160-0023, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mariko","family":"Hamada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterological Endoscopy, Tokyo Medical University, Tokyo 160-0023, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eri","family":"Iwata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterological Endoscopy, Tokyo Medical University, Tokyo 160-0023, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ryota","family":"Niikura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterological Endoscopy, Tokyo Medical University, Tokyo 160-0023, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naoyoshi","family":"Nagata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterological Endoscopy, Tokyo Medical University, Tokyo 160-0023, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9194-7392","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mitsushige","family":"Sugimoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterological Endoscopy, Tokyo Medical University, Tokyo 160-0023, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyosuke","family":"Yanagisawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterological Endoscopy, Tokyo Medical University, Tokyo 160-0023, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tetsuya","family":"Yamagishi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterological Endoscopy, Tokyo Medical University, Tokyo 160-0023, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masakatsu","family":"Fukuzawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Tokyo Medical University, Tokyo 160-0023, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takao","family":"Itoi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Tokyo Medical University, Tokyo 160-0023, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2021, July 04).
