Accuracy of high-resolution chromoendoscopy in prediction of histologic findings in diminutive lesions of the rectosigmoid

Accuracy of high-resolution chromoendoscopy in prediction of histologic findings in diminutive lesions of the rectosigmoid

Background The ability to differentiate adenomatous from nonadenomatous colonic polyps by using chromoendoscopy would obviate the need to remove hyperplastic lesions. The aim of this study was to define the accuracy of high-resolution chromoendoscopy for the determination of colonic polyp histology....
