‘I want to have virtual reality distraction during my colonoscopy!’

摘要

Patient experience is by far the most neglected field in the dominant topic of quality of screening colonoscopy1. This is not surprising as historically, endoscopists’ foremost concerns have been first to complete the examination in the cecum and second to find at least one adenoma. I still remember 20 years ago the pride on the face of a trainee who was able to reach the cecum, as much as the shame and disappointment of new trainees when they failed to find at least a diminutive adenoma after an extenuating and meticulous withdrawal.
