Description

Colonoscopy remains the mainstay of screening for colon cancer in the US and an essential operating room skill for general surgeons.

A quality review was performed of general surgeons at a community hospital.

Difficult Colonoscopy Score (DCS) was a score created to predict difficulty of colonoscopy which was defined as prolonged intubation time, need for external compression, or increased pain score [1]. We tested the utility in our community and resident-involved endoscopy department.
