## TL;DR

This paper introduces a technique to maintain a clear view during colorectal endoscopic resections by unwinding the colonoscope shaft loop using the universal cord.

## Contribution

A novel method for managing the colonoscope shaft loop to maintain consistent visualization during endoscopic procedures.

## Key findings

- Unwinding the colonoscope shaft loop via the universal cord helps maintain the same endoscopic view.
- This technique can be useful during colorectal endoscopic resections.

## Abstract

The colonoscope shaft loop can be unwound by establishing a loop in the universal cord of the colonoscope to maintain the same endoscopic view during colorectal endoscopic resections.
