PUPPET SHOW SEASONS GREETINGS
Kindergarten students at the elementary school recently saw a live puppet show
from Atlanta. The show was streamed to the kids.

New endoscope system far more effective than older single-camera device
Although colonoscopy
exams prevent many colon
cancer deaths and are the gold
standard, for detecting colorec
tal cancers, the procedure is
not completely effective in pre
venting cancer cases. For this
reason, Tifton Endoscopy Cen
ter has invested in an innova
tive technology that allows
doctors to see nearly twice the
anatomy seen with a tradi
tional, forward-viewing endo
scope.
The Fuse endoscope system
from EndoChoice®, Inc. uses
three small cameras at the tip
of a flexible GI endoscope.
“Unlike standard, forward
viewing endoscopes that use a
single camera, the Fuse system
lets doctors see nearly twice as
much surface area,” said Dr.
Don Roberts.
“The Fuse endoscope is all
about seeing more of the GI
tract. It projects the expanded
view on three screens to give
physicians previously unseen
views, such as behind colonic
folds and difficult anatomy. We
are pleased to offer this impor
tant new technology to our
community.”
The Fuse system was
cleared by the FDA in the U.S.
“As an early adopter of the in
novative Fuse system, Tifton
Endoscopy Center is at the
forefront of U.S. healthcare
providers offering the best
technology and procedures for
detecting colorectal cancers,”
said Dr. Roberts. “Our team is
proud to be using the new sys
tem in our ongoing effort to re
duce cancer and provide the

In a multi-center trial con
ducted in the U.S., Europe and
Israel, researchers performed a
series of colonoscopies com
paring standard, forward-view
ing endoscopes and the new
Fuse® system.
The endoscope used in the
first examination was selected
randomly. After the first in
spection, each patient immedi
ately underwent a second
colonoscopy performed by the
same doctor, but with the com
peting endoscope. The 185 pa
tient trial showed standard,
forward-viewing endoscopes
missed 41% of potentially pre-
cancerous lesions, or adeno
mas, while the Fuse system
missed just 7%. Additionally,
Fuse found 69% more adeno
mas when compared to stan
dard, forward-viewing
endoscopes. The results of this
clinical study were recently
published in The Fancet On
cology.
“Standard, forward-viewing
endoscopes provide up to 170
degrees of forward vision. The
advantage of Fuse is that it al
lows endoscopists to examine
twice the anatomy with a wide
330 degree view. This is espe
cially advantageous because
adenomas can be missed in dif
ficult to find areas of the
anatomy,” said Dr. Roberts.
“The findings are compelling
and support the data from pre
vious studies showing the lim
itations of standard,
forward-viewing endoscopes.
EndoChoice’s innovative Fuse
technology can dramatically
improve the effectiveness of
this life-saving procedure. And
improving the effectiveness of
every procedure we perform
here at Tifton Endoscopy Cen
ter is what we’re ah about.”
Patient scheduling with the
new Fuse system is now under
way at Tifton Endoscopy Cen
ter. More than 15 million
colonoscopies are performed
across the United States each
year and most insurance com
panies cover the costs for those
patients over age 50.
