Official Title: "Remove and Discard" Policy in Colonic Diminutive Polyps: is it Always Safe?
Brief Summary:
Diminutive polyps, measuring between 1 and 5 mm, represent the vast majority of colorectal polyps encountered during colonoscopy. Since the chance of harboring advanced adenoma or carcinoma in this kind of polyps is very low, a "remove and discard" technique has been proposed.
The differentiation between adenoma/non adenoma polyps is based on the use of endoscopes equipped with high definition, magnification and optical filters.
