Diminutive polyps (<5 mm in diameter) represent the majority of polyps found during colonoscopy; about a half of them are adenomatous, with low risk of advanced neoplasia. Recent studies have demonstrated that cold polypectomy should be considered the recommended approach for resecting diminutive ...
A prospective study investigated the significance of solitary diminutive colonic polyps discovered during screening flexible sigmoidoscopy. Eighty-two patients with a solitary diminutive polyp (≤5 mm) underwent colonoscopy after cold biopsy of the index polyp. Of the patients with adenomatous index polyps...
A new study has addressed the potential efficacy of two different types of snare for the cold-resection of diminutive colorectal polyps. Endoscopic and histological resection with two different types of snare was assessed, showing an apparent association between the technical characteristics of the ...
A resect and discard strategy for diminutive (≤5mm) colon polyps has been proposed to save costs of screening colonoscopy (SC). Prior studies on neoplasia prevalence based on polyp size have involved mostly white patients. To determine the prevalence of adenomas and advanced histologic features by...

Discovery of small polyps on flexible sigmoidoscopy calls for colonoscopy, resection, and pathologic evaluation. In this article, Drs Short and Thomas discuss the role of primary care physicians in management of diminutive polyps, the link between hyperplastic polyps and risk of adenomatous polyps, an...
CONCLUSION: In a pooled analysis of data from 12 international cohorts of patients undergoing colonoscopy for screening, surveillance, or evaluation of symptoms, we found that diminutive polyps with advanced histologic features do not increase risk for metachronous advanced neoplasia....

colonoscopydiminutivepolypAdequate colonoscopic polypectomy is a very important intervention for the prevention of colorectal cancer progression during screening and surveillance colonoscopy. Whereas various techniques are used for the removal of diminutive polyps, including cold biopsy forceps, hot biopsy ...
