Introduction Current guidelines propose surveillance colonoscopy for patients with long term colonic Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. Guidelines also suggest using chromoendoscopy with targeted biopsies of abnormal areas. Previous audits have shown poor adherence to these recommendations. We report the ...
There is no strict definition for the term ‘‘shortened’’ but in general we reserve it for extreme cases where the caecal pole is reached very easily within a couple of minutes at colonoscopy, with perhaps only 50 cm of endos...

If the patient has ulcerative colitis and is doing well on a 5-aminosalicylic acid drug such as sulfasalazine or mesalamine, and laboratory values are normal, then the primary reason to refer is for surveillance colonoscopy. If the patient with ulcerative colitis is "fine" but is taking steroids...

Ulcerative colitis (UC) and colonic Crohn's disease (CD), carries an increased risk of colorectal cancer, necessitating effective surveillance strategies. Dye spraying and electronic virtual chromoendoscopy techniques enhance mucosal visualisation and aid in dysplasia detection. We aim to presents the ...

Aim of this study is to compare our current practice of surveillance colonoscopies of IBD patients with BSG and NICE guidance. Method 50 consecutive IBD patients were identified from Unisoft Endoscopy Reports who had an IBD surveillance colonoscopy performed in the Southern Trust during the time ...
Endoscopic guidelines have been developed with the goal of detecting early neoplastic changes prior to development of advanced malignancy. The current surveillance strategy of surveillance colonoscopy, with multiple random biopsies, most likely reduces morbidity and mortality associated with IBD-related CRC....
Current American and European guidelines recommend initiating a screening and surveillance protocol 8years after the initial diagnosis of IBD in most patients. Endo-histological appearance during colonoscopy as well as factors such as family history of colon cancer, personal history of primary sclerosing ...
