Abstract
The prevalence of advanced histological features in diminutive (≤5 mm) and small (6-9 mm) colon polyps is low, and they are considered to have low potential for malignant transformation. Performing a polypectomy increases the costs associated with a colonoscopy as well as the risk of complications. Newer diagnostic techniques have prompted the approach of ‘predict, resect and discard’ for diminutive and small polyps, a strategy whereby real time diagnosis of polyps would serve as a substitute for histopathological diagnosis to reduce costs.
