Resect and Discard Approach to Diminutive Colonic Polyps
Completed
Conditions studied: Benign Polyps of Large Intestine
In brief
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.
