119 optical detection of colorectal neoplasia after endoscopic mucosal resection: comparision of high definition white light, narrow band imaging and near focus: final analysis of a prospective double blind clinical  trial

Detection of subtle recurrences after colorectal endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is challenging. High definition colonoscopy with narrow band imaging (NBI) in combination with a near-focus, providing sharp focus within 2-6mm from the colonic mucosa, may help to differentiate residual neoplasia from granular tissue. This could potentially reduce the need for pathologic assessment during EMR follow-up and correctly guide immediate treatment decisions. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of high-definition white light and NBI with and without near-focus in the optical detection of residual neoplasia after EMR in real-time.
