261 Sessile Serrated Polyp Detection Rate as a Screening Colonoscopy Quality Metric

Inverted sessile serrated polyp diagnosed by magnifying image-enhanced colonoscopy.

Sessile serrated lesion misdiagnosed as a hyperplastic polyp.

An 81-year-old woman presented for colonoscopy because of iron deficiency anemia. She had undergone colonoscopy 5 years previously during which a 2-cm prominent fold had been identified in the proximal ascending colon (●" Fig.1). A biopsy of this lesion was interpreted as being a hyperplastic polyp (●" Fig.2), although the polyp showed features of a serrated lesion. Because of clinical concern ...

Sessile serrated adenoma/polyps with a depressed surface: a rare form of sessile serrated adenoma/polyp

Sessile serrated adenoma/polyps (SSA/Ps) usually appear flat to sessile with a smooth-appearing surface. However, macroscopic appearances of SSA/P can vary from flat-elevated to nodular and can even show a pedunculated configuration as we previously reported. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the clinicopathologic features of another under-recognized form of SSA/P which shows a depre...

Carbon dioxide insufflation is associated with increased serrated polyp detection rate when compared to room air insufflation during screening colonoscopy

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS  Sessile serrated adenomas (SSA) and traditional serrated adenomas (TSA) have been increasingly recognized as precursors of colorectal cancer. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of carbon dioxide insufflation (CO 2 I) vs. room air insufflation (AI) on serrated polyp detection rate (SPDR) and to identify factors associated with SPDR. PATIENTS AND METHODS ...

Polyp detection rate and pathological features in patients undergoing a comprehensive colonoscopy screening

AIM To identify the prevalence, and clinical and pathologic characteristic of colonic polyps among Iranian patients undergoing a comprehensive colonoscopy, and determine the polyp detection rate (PDR) and adenoma detection rate (ADR). METHODS In this cross-sectional study, demographics and epidemiologic characteristics of 531 persons who underwent colonoscopies between 2014 and 2015 at Mehrad...
