Abstract

The current paradigm for the management of colonic polyps is to remove all lesions and send for histopathological evaluation which dictates the surveillance interval. This is expensive and can result in a delay in arranging the surveillance interval for the patient. Studies using vital stains with zoom endoscopes have suggested that in vivo histology prediction is possible, but has been perceived as impractical for every day use. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of FICE and Indigo carmine (IC) dye spray in the prediction of in vivo histology for diminuitive polyps (<10 mm).
