This study was conducted to evaluate the additional benefit of RF technique in the RC. Methods: Patients who underwent colonoscopy from May 2008 to April 2011 were enrolled in the study. Data were obtained by retrospectively reviewing the medical records. RF was attempted in every patients undergoing colonoscopy since May 2008 except in cases of small RC vault, co-morbidity, severe diverticulosis, failed RF despite two trials, complaints of severe abdominal pain, or time burden. At first, RC was examined under direct vision. It was then examined by RF to detect missed polyps during the initial observation. Finally, the RC was re-examined with direct view. Results: The cumulative RF success rate in the RC was 78.84% (1,805 of 2,319). The RF success rate increased with the number of cases (50% at 160 cases, 70% at 400 cases, and reached near 90% over 1,000 cases). Few polyps (4.88%) were detected only with RF and the additional adenoma detection rate was 3.32%. The additional polyp/adenoma detection rates were higher in the old age group (p<0.01). There were no RF associated perforation or severe complication. Conclusions: Using RF examination, additional 4.88% of polyps could be detected in the RC. This technique could be a useful and safe method to detect hidden polyp during colonoscopy.

96 김흥업등. 우측대장후굴폴립 시야각외에대장내시경중선종발견의구조적인문제를해결하기위한노력들이있어왔는데효과가있다고알려진것은고해상도내시경, 협대역내시경, 자가형광영상, 물-교환대장내시경, 캡-보조대장내시경, 내시경후굴법, Third Eye Retroscope (TER; Avantis Medical Systems Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, USA) 등이다. 24 물-교환 (water-exchange) 대장내시경으로선종발견율을높였다는보고가있으나일부에서는이러한이점이단순히환자의안락감을높인결과라고생각하고있고, 24 고해상도대장내시경, 협대역내시경, 자가형광영상은사각지대의해결이라기보다는직시하에서보이는점막의병변을보다잘보이게하여선종발견율을높이는것이다. 24 그러므로대장내시경검사의구조적인문제를해결하기위한현실적인대안으로는캡-보조대장내시경, 내시경후굴법, TER을꼽을수있겠다. 캡-보조대장내시경은선단에투명캡을붙여대장주름을누르면서관찰할수있다는이점이있고맹장삽입시간을단축시키는데도움이되나선종발견율의향상에대해서는일부부정적인견해를보이는서구연구자들도있고, 26 대장주름을누르는장점은있으나돌출된캡이오히려시야를방해하는단점이있다. 이론적으로반대방향에서쳐다보는후굴기법을사용한다면 98% 의대장면적을관찰할수있다고계산된바있다. 23 TER은선종발견율을 11-16% 향상시켰는데, 27,28 이기구의문제는흡입구를통해삽입하므로고여있는물을흡인하기곤란하고, 다른검사를위해서는이기구를빼고필요한기구를삽입해야하므로검사시간이길어져특히폴립절제시불편할수있으며, 일회용으로경제적인부담이생긴다는것이다. 27,28 또후굴경의해상도가떨어지는것도문제이고실제현장에서는시간적, 경제적인면이고려되어야하므로 TER이나 Fuse 등의장비를바로도입하기는어려울것으로생각된다. 이러한관점에서본다면현실적으로는대장내시경후굴법이매력적이다. 위내시경에서는저부를관찰하기위해대부분의경우후굴법을사용하나대장의경우는관강이좁아일상적으로사용하기힘들다. 주로직장에서치상선을관찰할때많이사용하며유용성논란에도불구하고대체적으로시행할것을권고하는상황이다. 29-32 직장에서대장내시경의후굴이가능한이유는직장의관강이크기때문인데, 맹장을포함한우측대장도관강의크기가커대장내시경의후굴이가능하다. 대장내시경의후굴은부가적인기구를사용하지않기때문에시간적, 경제적인비용이추가로들지않으면서이론적으로 TER과유사한효과를기대할수있다. 우측대장의선종발견율이후굴에의한검사에도향상되지않는다는초기보고가있었고 33 후굴에의한대장천공의문제점이제시되었으나, 15 간만곡부의내측면등직시하에서관찰이어려운부분을해결하기위해후굴에대한연구가지 속되었는데, 16 이후연구에서는폴립의완전절제에도움이되고 15,34 추가적인폴립과선종 (5.80%, 4.40%) 을발견할수있는방법이라고소개되고있다. 16 방법론에서도과거이론적으로후굴이용이한소아대장내시경을사용하였으나, 35 최근연구에서는대부분성인용대장내시경을사용하였고, 오히려성인용이소아용대장내시경보다후굴성공률이높았다 (p=0.045). 16 저자들은 2008년부터후굴방법을적용하기시작했는데, 처음부터적극적으로시행하지못했던이유는천공발생에대한불안감때문이며이것이후굴숙련도가느리게상승한주원인이었다 (Fig. 3). 우측대장에서후굴하여원위부로검사를진행하다보면횡행결장까지순조롭게진행되는경우도있지만단축이잘된경우에서는오히려간만곡부가위분문부처럼접히고좁아져있는경우를많이보았기에, 상행결장부터횡행결장까지를일괄하여후굴검사를하기는힘들었다. 우측대장에서후굴에성공한군과실패한군을나누었을때성공한군의연령이실패한군의연령보다약 3세가량낮았는데 (p<0.01), 이는아마도고령자의경우전신상태가좋지않고동반질환이있어무리하게후굴을시도하지않았기때문으로생각된다 (Table 1). 특히후굴성공군이실패군보다맹장삽입시간이짧았는데 (p<0.01), 이는삽입이용이한군에서후굴성공률이더높다는것을의미한다. 내시경후굴에성공한군을성별, 연령군별로나누었을때남자 (p=0.02), 약년군 (p<0.01) 일수록보다근위부에서후굴이성공한경우가많았다. 이는여자의경우조금더민감하여맹장측에서후굴할때불편감이나통증을더많이호소하고단축이덜된경우가많으며, 고령인경우전신상태를고려하여과감하게시도하지못한것이원인으로생각된다. 성별, 연령군별로발견된후굴폴립의동시발견빈도, 발견위치, 조직분포는차이가나지않았다. 다만후굴의정도를분석했을때성별차이는없었지만연령군별로나눌때고령군에서간만곡부근처에서만성공한예가많아 (p<0.01), 고령군에서는후굴성공률도낮고완전하게하기도힘든것으로나타났다. 후굴폴립의발견율은 4.88% 로, 성별차이는없었으나 (p=0.73) 약년군과고령군에서각각 2.76%, 7.19% 로고령군에서후굴폴립의발견율이높았는데 (p<0.01), 이는고령군에서폴립이더많으므로사각지역폴립또한같은빈도로많았던것으로생각된다. 그러므로고령에서후굴이힘들다하더라도시도를해볼가치가있다. 고령, 남자, 감시내시경상황, 직시하검사에서폴립이발견되었을경우후굴에의한검사에서추가적인폴립이발견될독립적인예측인자라하였으나, 16 이번연구에서는성별에따른차이를발견할수없었고연령별차이만발견할수있었다. 이번연구에서성별차이가없었던이유에대해서는추후다시검증해볼필요가있다고생각한다. 우측대장에서후굴에 The Korean Journal of Gastroenterology
Kim HU, et al. Retroflexion Polyps in the Right Colon 97 의한추가적인폴립발견율 4.88% 와추가적인선종발견율 3.32% 는기존에알려진 5.8% 와 4.4% 에 16 비해크게다르지않은결과를보여주었다. 중간암발생률이우측대장에서가장많다는점을고려하면, 8 우측대장에서후굴등의보다적극적인방법으로폴립의간과를방지하는것이필요하며최소한후굴에의해추가적으로발견된선종만큼의중간암발생은감소할것으로기대한다. 이번연구의단점은단일내시경의에의한후향적연구라는점, 그리고 3단계의완벽한우측대장의후굴관찰이이루어진경우가적었다는점을들수있다. 3단계의완벽한후굴성공이 40% 로낮은것처럼보이지만, 이는기존서구의결과와유사한성적이었으므로 33 우측대장의전체를후굴로보지못한것이이번연구에국한된것으로만볼수없고, 후굴의숙달도를후굴의정도로나누어보았을때 (Fig. 3) 3단계의가장완벽한후굴이시간이갈수록증가하기보다는각단계별로일정비율로나타나고있어구조적인문제도있을것으로생각된다. 또한후굴방법은우반대장절제술후감시내시경을할때유용하게사용할수있을것이라생각된다. 이번연구에등록된한증례에서도직시하에서는관찰되지않았으나, 후굴에의해서 1 cm 크기의융기함몰성선암병변이관찰되어수술적치료를받았다 (Fig. 4). 폴립발견의첫단계는폴립여부를인지하는것인데, 내시경선단으로주름을뒤져서숨어있는폴립을볼수있는시간은매우짧은경우도있어자칫간과하고넘어갈가능성이있다. 반면후굴의방법은대장주름의근위면에숨은폴립을충분히인지할수있는시간적인여유를주고사각지역이줄었다는자신감을줄수있다. 1개의후굴폴립을발견하기위해서최소 20명의대장내시경검사에서후굴을시도해야하지만후굴에숙달된경우라면가치가있다고생각되며, 향후후굴방법이폴립발견율을높일수있는합리적대안이될수있는지에대한전향적다기관연구가진행되어야할것이다. 요약 목적 : 우측대장의대장내시경검사중선단을후굴하여검사하면폴립간과율을낮춘다는보고들이있다. 이를토대로저자는 2008년 5월부터대장내시경을하는모든환자를대상으로우측대장에서후굴을시도하여숨어있는폴립을찾는시도를하였다. 이에우측대장에서후굴법이폴립발견에있어추가적인이득이있는지를알아보기위하여이번연구를진행하였다. 대상및방법 : 2008년 5월부터 2011년 4월까지 1인의내시경의에의해시행된대장내시경기록을후향적으로검토하였다. 같은기간중가능한모든예에서우측대장에서후굴을시행 하였고우측대장의직경이작거나전신상태가좋지않은경우, 동반된질환이있는경우, 우측대장게실이많은경우, 2회이상의시도에도성공하지못한경우, 심한복통을호소하거나내시경스케줄이바쁜경우는대상에서제외하였다. 처음에는직시하검사로우측대장을관찰하고다음을후굴을시도하여간과된폴립을찾으려고노력하였고마지막단계에서다시직시하검사를하였으며각단계에서적어도 2장이상의사진을기록으로남겼다. 의무기록을후향적으로분석하여성별, 연령별차이, 후굴성공여부, 후굴폴립의개수, 크기, 조직을조사하였다. 결과 : 총 2,319명중 1,805명이후굴에성공하여우측대장에서후굴의누적성공률은 78.84% 였다. 증례가늘어날수록후굴의성공률도높아져 160예에서 50%, 400예에서 70%, 그리고 1,000예이상에서는 90% 가까이도달한후점차상승했다. 이방법으로 4.88% 의추가적인폴립과 3.32% 의선종이발견되었고, 고령일수록후굴성공률과근위부후굴성공률은감소하였으나 (p<0.01) 폴립과선종은더많이발견되었다 (p<0.01). 그리고후굴과관련한천공등의중증합병증은없었다. 결론 : 우측대장에서내시경후굴에의한검사로 4.88% 의폴립, 3.32% 의선종이추가적으로발견되었다. 이기법은대장내시경검사중유용하고비교적안전한검사라고생각된다. 색인단어 : 상행결장, 대장폴립, 대장신생물, 진단오류, 후굴 REFERENCES 1.
