Adenoma miss rate of polypectomy-referring hospitals is high in Korea.

Conclusions: Among patients referred for polypectomy, adenoma is missed in one of two patients and advanced neoplasm is missed in one of 13. Patients with advanced age or multiple adenoma on initial colonoscopy have a higher possibility of missed adenoma. Total colon exploration should be performed carefully during therapeutic colonoscopy. PMID: 31610632 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
