In a recent study performed in our Centre (2), we restricted the application of the resect and discard strategy to patients with small or diminutive polyps only, achieving an accordance between endoscopy-directed and histology-directed surveillance strategy of about 85% in both populations. This approach, where decisions on patient management are driven only by the "in vivo" endoscopic assessment, provides on one hand a slightly lower accordance than the threshold of 90% set by the PIVI, but on the other one it allows the complete spare of pathology related costs, although for a smaller proportion of patients. Moreover we observed a negative predictive value of 86% for the presence of adenoma within the diminutive polyps cohort, although a separate analysis for left sided ones was not performed.
