Abstract in brief

The study introduces "Textbook Process" (TP) as a new comprehensive measure to evaluate high-quality colonoscopy by including key procedural steps and patient outcomes.
Through expert consensus, TP was defined with specific criteria like proper indication, successful cecal intubation, adequate prep, and safety, and was retrospectively applied to clinical data, showing variable achievement rates among different endoscopists.
The results indicate that TP was achieved in about 72% of procedures, but the success rate varied widely between practitioners, highlighting the potential of TP as a useful tool for improving quality and standardization in colonoscopy practices.
