Summary

The investigators conducted a study "Resect and Discard Diminutive Polyps: a new paradigm" (IRB ID # 201105473) from September, 2011 to July, 2013. This study examined whether doctors performing colonoscopy are accurate enough at predicting histology of small colorectal polyps, such that these small polyps could be resected and discarded (instead of being sent to pathology). One of the main advantages of this approach is significant cost savings by reducing pathology costs associated with screening and surveillance colonoscopy. A disadvantage is that there is a 0.03% chance that small polyps contain cancer. There is no data regarding patient preferences toward this approach. The investigators therefore designed a patient survey to determine the patient's view toward this approach.
