Prevalence and Variable Detection of Proximal Colon Serrated Polyps during Screening Colonoscopy

Smoking and the Association of Advanced Colorectal Neoplasia in an Asymptomatic Average Risk Population: Analysis of Exposure and Anatomical Location in Men and Women

“…In our study, as has been done in recently published studies [31,32], we classified the proximal serrated lesions together due to the difficulties of differentiating the SSAs from the classic hyperplastic polyps. Serrated polyps can be classified as typical hyperplastic polyps, atypical polyps such as SSAs and dysplastic such as the traditional serrated adenomas and mixed polyps [33].…”

Phenotype Characteristics of Patients With Colonic Serrated Polyposis Syndrome: A Study of 23 Cases

“…Frequently, these polyps are overlooked in a colonoscopy, 19 due to the small size, nonthreatening morphology and poor count, added to the difficulty of finding and classifying the various anatomopathological serrated lesion subtypes. 20 SPS annual prevalence was 0.08% in this case series.…”

Management of Diminutive Colon Polyps Based on Endoluminal Imaging

“…A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 16 removed. The idea of leaving some polyps behind will require some re-education.…”

“…There is new evidence that endoscopists using enhanced endoluminal imaging advances, can reach the PIVI threshold in some, but not all settings.With the advent of high-definition colonoscopy, the detection of diminutive lesions has increased. Polyp and adenoma detection rates by high detectors may exceed 70% and 50% respectively in average-risk screening exams(16).Thiscreates an increased burden of polypectomy and pathology. The higher rate of detection of small polyps has outpaced the development of surveillance guidelines.…”
