Mistakes in colonoscopy and how to avoid them

Manmeet Matharoo, Siwan Thomas-Gibson, Srivathsan Ravindran

Summary

AI Generated

This article identifies six common avoidable mistakes in colonoscopy that impact safety, quality, and post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer rates.

  • Colonoscopy is a complex procedure requiring technical and non-technical skills including manual and visuospatial abilities, pathology interpretation, patient communication, and use of advanced therapeutic technologies.
  • Each colonoscopy varies due to patient factors, sedation strategy, anatomical configuration, technical challenges, and endoscopist skills, requiring individualised clinical intention and team-based patient management.
  • Avoiding common mistakes can improve procedure safety and quality, reduce post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer rates, and enhance patient experience and adherence to surveillance programmes.
  • The article draws on evidence and the authors' collective clinical and research experience of endoscopy errors and patient safety.

Abstract

Colonoscopy is a complex procedure requiring both technical and non-technical skills. Performing colonoscopy also requires manual and visuospatial skills, interpretation of pathology, patient communication and a wide range of advanced therapeutic technologies. The clinical intention of colonoscopy must be individualised, and diagnostic and/or therapeutic intent rationalised, given the procedures invasive nature and associated risks. Furthermore, each colonoscopy differs due to patient factors, sedation strategy, anatomical configuration, technical challenges and endoscopist skills. Endoscopists must, therefore, demonstrate a wide range of expertise whilst working effectively in a team to manage the patient safely. It is not, therefore, surprising that mistakes in colonoscopy can occur. This article focuses on six common mistakes in colonoscopy that can be avoided to improve the procedure's safety and deliver a high-quality procedure. This, in turn, can reduce the rates of post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer (PCCRC) and improve patient experience and adherence to colonoscopy surveillance programmes. This article is based on evidence in conjunction with our collective clinical and research experience of errors in endoscopy and patient safety.

Abstract

Dysphagia is a common symptom with a broad differential diagnosis encompassing structural, inflammatory, infectious, functional, neurological, and oesophageal motility disorders. Despite major advances in endoscopy, high-resolution manometry (HRM), impedance planimetry (EndoFLIP), and swallowing assessment, diagnostic delays and inappropriate management remain common. In most cases, these shortcomings reflect errors in clinical reasoning rather than limitations of available investigations.1

Increasing recognition of eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE), functional dysphagia, opioid-induced oesophageal dysfunction, and complex motility disorders has further emphasised the importance of integrating clinical history with endoscopic, histological, physiological, and complementary radiological findings. Optimal evaluation increasingly requires multidisciplinary collaboration involving gastroenterologists, otolaryngologists, neurologists, speech–language pathologists, radiologists, and surgeons.1–5

In this article, we discuss the most common mistakes in the evaluation and management of dysphagia and provide practical, evidence-based recommendations to help clinicians avoid them.

Abstract

Liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related death. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for about 90% of cases and mostly arises in chronic liver disease, especially cirrhosis. Viral hepatitis remains a leading cause, but alcohol-related disease and MASLD are rising. With immune checkpoint inhibitors transforming HCC management, it is timely to highlight common mistakes across screening, staging, diagnosis and treatment.

Introduction

The therapeutic landscape of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] has undergone a profound transformation with the advent of novel immunosuppressive and biologic agents. These advancements have revolutionised the management of Crohn’s disease [CD] and ulcerative colitis [UC], enabling tighter control of inflammation and significantly improved patient outcomes. However, while older treatment strategies, including prolonged corticosteroids, purine analogues, and anti-tumour necrosis factor [TNF]/thiopurine combination therapy, carried a substantial immunosuppressive burden, the expanding therapeutic armamentarium introduces new agents with distinct infection risk profiles that require updated, evidence-based guidance. By definition, opportunistic infections are infections caused by organisms that infrequently induce disease in immunocompetent hosts but can result in significant morbidity or mortality in immunocompromised individuals. As treatment strategies increasingly rely on potent modulation of the immune system, ranging from traditional thiopurines to advanced small molecules, a structured, evidence-based approach to infection prevention, diagnosis, and management has become indispensable for the clinician. The European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation [ECCO] has long recognised this clinical imperative, previously publishing consensus statements in 2009 and 2014, followed by a comprehensive guideline in 2021. This 2026 update is warranted by the rapid expansion of the therapeutic armamentarium, specifically the introduction of newer small molecules, advanced biologics, and evolving vaccination strategies. This update integrates the most recent data on risk stratification, viral, bacterial, mycobacterial, and vaccine-preventable infections, emphasising a preventative strategy tailored to the contemporary IBD treatment paradigm.

Abstract

Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) is a common yet frequently under-recognised cause of maldigestion, malabsorption, and malnutrition. Although traditionally associated with primary pancreatic disorders such as chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, pancreatic cancer, or pancreatic surgery, it is now evident that PEI also occurs in a wide range of extra-pancreatic conditions and clinical settings. Advances in diagnostic testing and expanding clinical awareness have improved detection; however, significant misconceptions persist regarding when to suspect PEI; how to interpret diagnostic tests; and how to initiate, optimise, and monitor pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT). In everyday practice, these errors may lead to delayed diagnosis, inappropriate treatment, persistent symptoms, and preventable nutritional deficiencies. This “Mistakes in…” article highlights common pitfalls in the diagnosis and management of PEI, focusing on inappropriate reliance on faecal elastase testing, failure to recognise secondary causes, undertreatment with PERT, and inadequate nutritional assessment. By addressing these frequent mistakes, we aim to promote a more structured, patient-centred, and evidence-informed approach to PEI that improves clinical outcomes and quality of life.

Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common and deadly disease. Advances in understanding the disease have improved diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Genetic factors play a role in some cases of CRC, and identifying hereditary disorders has helped reduce morbidity and mortality. Serrated polyps are also precursors of CRC, and colonoscopy is crucial for screening and prevention. However, colonoscopy is not perfect, and some lesions may be missed. Here we discuss common mistakes in CRC diagnosis, prevention, and treatment, and how to avoid them.
