Despite colonoscopy represents the standard diagnostic tool for colorectal pathology, its undeniable discomfort reduces compliance to screening programs. Aim of the study was to evaluate feasibility and accuracy of a novel robotically driven magnetic capsule for colonoscopy. Eleven experts and eleven trainees performed complete colonoscopy by robotic capsule and standard colonoscope in a phantom model with 3 mm coloured pins anchored. Main outcome measurements were feasibility, overall acc…

Abstract
Despite colonoscopy represents the standard diagnostic tool for colorectal pathology, its undeniable discomfort reduces compliance to screening programs. Aim of the study was to evaluate feasibility and accuracy of a novel robotically driven magnetic capsule for colonoscopy. Eleven experts and eleven trainees performed complete colonoscopy by robotic capsule and standard colonoscope in a phantom model with 3 mm coloured pins anchored. Main outcome measurements were feasibility, overall acc…
