Abstract

Background and aims: Accurate reporting of polyp characteristics is crucial for effective resource allocation in endoscopic resection referrals. We present our experience with pre-referral management of challenging colorectal lesions.

Methods: We reviewed a prospectively collected database of consecutive referrals for endoscopic resection of challenging colorectal lesions. The database included details of prior colonoscopies. We assessed pre-referral management using established guidelines.

Results: Among 1,826 referred lesions in 1826 patients, size estimates were missing for 421 (24%) lesions; 56 (3.2%) were found twice as large as previously estimated, while 65 (3.7%) were half the previous estimate. Morphological descriptions were absent for 376 (22%) polyps. Tattooing was performed for 822 (47%) lesions, with 247 (30%) placed correctly. Of the 1,103 (77%) polyps biopsied, only 11 (1.1%) were classified as high-risk by the referring endoscopist.

Conclusions: Errors in pre-referral management of challenging colorectal lesions are frequent. Improved adherence to national guidelines could enhance practice.

转诊至三级中心前结肠直肠病变描述和处理错误的频率。

背景和目的：准确报告息肉特征对于有效分配内镜切除转诊资源至关重要。我们介绍了对具有挑战性的结直肠病变进行转诊前管理的经验：方法：我们回顾了前瞻性收集的连续转诊数据库，这些转诊患者均接受了具有挑战性的结直肠病变内镜切除术。该数据库包括先前结肠镜检查的详细信息。我们根据既定指南对转诊前的管理进行了评估：在 1826 名患者的 1826 个转诊病灶中，421 个（24%）病灶的大小估计值缺失；56 个（3.2%）病灶的大小是之前估计值的两倍，65 个（3.7%）病灶的大小是之前估计值的一半。376个（22%）息肉没有形态学描述。对 822 个（47%）病灶进行了纹身，其中 247 个（30%）纹身位置正确。在进行活检的 1,103 个（77%）息肉中，只有 11 个（1.1%）被转诊内镜医师列为高危息肉：结论：在转诊前处理具有挑战性的结直肠病变时经常出现错误。加强对国家指南的遵守可以提高诊疗水平。
