| Core Tip |
Colonoscopy and polypectomy are currently considered as the gold standard to prevent colorectal cancer. However, a significant proportion of precan?cerous lesions are missed during the procedure, limiting its efficacy and giving rise to interval cancers. Adequate bowel cleanliness represents a major factor with regards to colonoscopy quality. This study demonstrates that split-dose bowel preparation results to significantly better mucosal cleansing compared to previous-day preparation. Moreover, we showed that preparation with the split-dose regimen significantly enhanced polyp detection, especially of the diminutive ones. Finally, better inspection of the colonic epithelium unmasked a notable polyp miss rate. |
