ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficiency and safety of full-spectrum endoscopy for detection of major duodenal papilla. Methods Patients underwent painless gastroscopy in Chinese PLA General Hospital from March 2017 to December 2017 were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups according to random number method. The group A underwent conventional gastroscopy, and the group B underwent full-spectrum endoscopy. The detection rate of major duodenal papilla was calculated and compared between the two groups. Results A total of 100 patients were recruited in the study, including 51 in the group A and 49 in the group B. The whole detection rate of major duodenal papilla of the group B was higher than that of the group A [79. 59％ (39/49) VS 41. 18％ (21/51), χ2 =15. 366, P=0. 000]. There was no statistical difference on the whole plus partial detection rate of major duodenal papilla between the two groups [100. 00％ (49/49) VS 92. 16％ (47/51), χ2=2. 221, P=0. 136]. All patients completed endoscopy examination succesfully without bleeding, peforation or death. Conclusion With the broad view-field, full-spectrum endoscopy is useful to improve the efficiency and safety in detection of major duodenal papilla.
