Background and Aims: Colonoscopy is less protective for cancers of the right side of the colon than for distal colon cancers. Repeat examination of the right side of the colon has been suggested to increase adenoma detection and potentially provide greater protection against the development of cancers of the right side of the colon. Our prospective study assessed the yield of a second forward-view examination of the right side of the colon done immediately after the initial examination.
