Introduction

The Digestive Disease Week (DDW) meeting held in Los Angeles in 2006 featured many abstracts on diverse colonoscopy topics, including the ease of cecal intubation; the detection and importance of treatment of diminutive colorectal polyps; and the role of submucosal dissection, with or without ligation, for colonic tumors, especially rectal carcinoids. Many studies aimed to clarify the role of high-resolution colonoscopy compared with magnifying colonoscopy, and the importance of narrow-band imaging and autofluorescence imaging in the detection and management of colonic tumors was also explored.
