Video Tip: Identification of Adenomas | July 2021-Video Tip

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the features of adenomas, a type of colorectal polyps. Adenomas typically have a brown color due to blood vessels, and their pits have variable shapes. The vessels in adenomas are thicker compared to hyperplastic polyps. The video also mentions the NICE and KUDO classifications, which are used to classify polyps based on their appearance. The NICE classification is used with high-definition scopes, while the KUDO classification is used with high-magnification scopes. The speaker emphasizes that the classifications may not always correlate perfectly. Additionally, the video mentions the challenges of accurately diagnosing adenomas and the use of surveillance guidelines. The valley sign, a specific feature seen in adenomas, is also discussed. The video concludes by noting that there is no foolproof system for classifying polyps, and the variability in pit size should be considered when making a diagnosis. No credits are provided.
