Abstract

The British Society of Gastroenterology in 2020 updated its guidelines around the management of hereditary colorectal cancer. This document includes recommendations for the management of patients with serrated polyposis in combination with updated (2019) post-polypectomy surveillance guidelines, which replaced the 2017 position statement on serrated polyps in the colon and rectum. This article is intended to serve as an introduction to serrated polyposis, current practice recommendations and the challenges associated with the diagnosis and treatment of serrated polyposis. It covers the definition of serrated polyps and serrated polyposis, the endoscopic approaches for optimising detection and the follow up care that is put in place, for both patients and their families from the perspective of a nurse endoscopist.
