Photodocumentation of Large Colorectal Polyps Is Suboptimal
Photodocumentation of Large Colorectal Polyps Is Suboptimal
The U.S. Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer recommends that polyps ≥1 cm be photographed before resection to document size and the resection site photographed
Cold Snare Looks Good for Pedunculated Polyps Smaller Than 10 mm
Cold Snare Looks Good for Pedunculated Polyps Smaller Than 10 mm
This systematic review and meta-analysis identified 6 studies with 1025 patients and 1111 polyps with a mean size ranging from 4 to 8.5 mm. Cold
Submucosal Injection Unnecessary for 3- to 9-mm Polyps, per Randomized Controlled Trial Results
Submucosal Injection Unnecessary for 3- to 9-mm Polyps, per Randomized Controlled Trial Results
Cold snare resection is the treatment of choice for 4- to 9-mm polyps, yet some practitioners perform submucosal injection for polyps in this size range.
Trainees Often Look at Polyps and Don’t Recognize Them
Trainees Often Look at Polyps and Don’t Recognize Them
This study used eye tracking of 7 endoscopy trainees to determine whether missed polyps had not been seen versus seen but not recognized. Trainees identified

More on Withdrawal Time in Colonoscopy
Current recommendations are that minimum withdrawal times in screening colonoscopy that are negative should average at least 6 minutes. In an analysis of a previously
Incompletely Resected Polyps Associated With Subsequent Neoplasia and Advanced Neoplasia in Observational Study
Incompletely Resected Polyps Associated With Subsequent Neoplasia and Advanced Neoplasia in Observational Study
Interval cancers are thought to result primarily from missed lesions, with a smaller component in the 10% to 30% range arising from incomplete polyp resection.
New Data Indicate That Surgery Rates for Benign Polyps Might Be Finally Declining
New Data Indicate That Surgery Rates for Benign Polyps Might Be Finally Declining
Several recent studies have collectively reported that surgery rates for benign colorectal polyps in the U.S. have continued to increase even though surgery results in
Hot Snare Polypectomy of 5-9 mm Polyps Leads To More Next-Day Abdominal Pain
Hot Snare Polypectomy of 5-9 mm Polyps Leads To More Next-Day Abdominal Pain
Cold snare polypectomy is widely considered to be comparably effective and safer than hot snare polypectomy for colorectal polyps <10 mm. In a randomized trial
Adding Time for Inspection During Colonoscope Insertion Does Not Work
Adding Time for Inspection During Colonoscope Insertion Does Not Work
There remain occasional advocates of dedicated time during colonoscope insertion to look for polyps as a way of increasing detection. In this analysis of 7
