Recurrence rate after piecemeal endoscopic mucosal resection of & lt;20  mm non-pedunculated colorectal lesions: should we worry about the risk?

CONCLUSION: Although the early RR after pEMR of 10-19 mm NPL is significantly lower compared to ≥ 20 mm NPL, it is non-negligible (10.5%) and appears to be the highest among 15-19 mm NPL. The size of the lesion was the only independent risk factor for RR. Our findings should be accounted in the selection of the most appropriate post-polypectomy endoscopic surveillance.PMID:37970898 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2023.2278425
