In order to increase the cost-benefit ratio in surveillance after curative resection of colorectal cancer the frequency of the surveillance procedures can be reduced. In patients with total or extensive ulcerative colitis colonoscopy with multiple biopsies should be performed after a disease duration of...
After being seen in gastroenterology outpatients' clinic, a colonoscopy was performed and was described as being macroscopically normal but microscopic evaluation of colonic biopsies suggested a possible 'resolving infection'.
