| [ Summary ] | Flat and depressed lesions, as well as serrated lesions are relatively difficult to detect during colonoscopy. However, it is necessary these lesions be detected in clinical practice. We conducted a literature review and pilot study and found that chromoendoscopy (indigocarmine) seems to have the potential to raise detection rates for these lesions. Even though, pan-chromoendoscopy is time consuming and complicates procedures, it should be regarded as one option for detection. | |
