Abstract

Inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative rectocolitis and Crohn’s disease are a major public health problem. The incidence of ulcerative rectocolitis (UC), which has remained stable since the early eighties, is around 10 per 100 000 inhabitants [1]. Crohn’s disease (CD) appears to be on the increase, with a global incidence of 5.6 / 100 000 [1]. These diseases are associated with a risk of digestive cancer, which justifies regular endoscopic surveillance. Unfortunately, there is no properly-defined code for such surveillance, which is performed on an empirical basis.
