The purpose of the study is to assess whether the AI characterisation system of the CADDIE device improves the endoscopists accuracy in the optical diagnosis of diminutive colorectal polyps in the bowel during colonoscopy. Participants will either have a colonoscopy with the assistance of the CADDIE device characterisation AI system ("intervention group") or have a colonoscopy in line with routine clinical practice i.e., without the CADDIE device characterisation AI system ("control group"). The randomisation method of this trial will allocate enrolled participants to the "intervention" group and to the "control" group by a technique similar to flipping a coin.

Cholecystectomy, the surgical removal of the gallbladder, is a common procedure performed to treat benign gallbladder diseases such as cholelithiasis (gallstones), cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder), and biliary dyskinesia. While generally considered safe, this surgery can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in certain populations or healthcare settings. Understanding these outcomes and the factors influencing them is crucial for improving patient care and surgical practices. In Algeria, the healthcare landscape presents unique challenges and opportunities for evaluating surgical outcomes. Limited studies have specifically focused on the morbidity and mortality associated with cholecystectomy in this context. This study aims to fill that gap by providing comprehensive data on 30-day postoperative outcomes following cholecystectomy for benign gallbladder diseases in Algeria. Such data is essential for benchmarking current practices, identifying areas for improvement, and ultimately enhancing patient safety and surgical efficacy.
