The clinical significance and synchronous polyp burden of large ( ≥ 20 mm) sessile serrated polyps in patients without serrated polyposis syndrome

Conclusion Patients with oligo-SSPs have similar synchronous polyp burden and clinical characteristics as patients with SPS and may require similar surveillance.

Larger studies are warranted to determine whether these patients may return to standard surveillance following complete examination and clearance of the colon.
