Updated Swedish guidelines for endoscopic surveillance after colorectal polypectomy : [Nya riktlinjer: endoskopisk kontroll efter kolorektal polypektomi]

• These new guidelines are based on the recommendations published by European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) in 2020. Low risk patients, i.e. after removal of 1-4 <10 mm adenomas with low grade dysplasia (irrespective of villous components), or any serrated lesion (hyperplastic polyp, sessile serrated lesion, or traditional serrated adenoma) <10 mm without dysplasia, are not recommended a surveillance colonoscopy. High-risk patients, i.e. after removal of at least one adenoma ≥10 mm or with high grade dysplasia or any serrated lesion ≥10 mm or with dysplasia, should undergo a surveillance colonoscopy after 3 years. If high-risk lesions are detected at surveillance colonoscopy, a 3-year repetition of the next endoscopic examination is recommended. If a high-risk patient has no high-risk lesions at surveillance colonoscopy, a 5-year period is recommended until the next surveillance colonoscopy. In general, follow-up should be terminated at 80 years of age.
