Resect and Discard Approach to Diminutive Colonic Polyps

NCT01877525 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 618

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Resect and discard (RD) is a new paradigm for management of diminutive colorectal polyps wherein histology is determined by real-time endoscopic imaging; polyps are then resected and discarded rather than sent for histopathological review. The aims of this study were to compare the surveillance recommendations between RD and the standard of care where polyps are sent for histopathological review in a mixed setting of academic and community gastroenterologists and to evaluate the diagnostic performance of an RD program for management of diminutive polyps.

Conditions

  • Benign Polyps of Large Intestine

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Colonoscopy

The location, size, and morphology of all lesions detected during colonoscopy were recorded. The size of each identified polyp was visually estimated . All diminutive polyps (defined as ≤5 mm) were endoscopically imaged and histology predictions (adenoma vs. non-adenomatous polyp) were made using HDWL with/without NBI at the discretion of the endoscopist.
