Chromocolonoscopy with acetic acid and indigo carmine has shown promise for improving the detection of sessile serrated lesions (SSLs), the precursor lesions responsible for a substantial proportion of interval colorectal cancers. Previous studies have demonstrated its potential to enhance visualization of both adenomatous and non-adenomatous polyps, particularly the subtle SSLs that are frequently missed during conventional white-light colonoscopy. However, high-quality randomized controlled trials comparing chromocolonoscopy with standard white-light imaging to provide definitive evidence on its efficacy for SSL detection are lacking. We therefore conducted a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the diagnostic yield of acetic acid-indigo carmine chromocolonoscopy versus standard colonoscopy for SSL detection.
