Surgical coastal expeditions (SCEs) brought endoscopic services to small coastal hospitals in Greenland, aiming to increase patient accessibility and reduce transport costs. A review of 89 endoscopies during two SCEs revealed satisfactory cecal intubation rates, adenoma detection rates, and advanced adenoma detection rates. However, attention to bowel preparation was needed, considering Greenland’s specific eating habits. The study underscored the importance of ongoing quality monitoring and highlighted how SCEs contribute to eco-friendly healthcare by reducing the need for patient air transport.
