Optimising polypectomy in the colon in the era of AI: Hot, cold and lukewarm

Polyp detection, characterisation and resection remains the cornerstone of colonoscopy. Artificial intelligence (AI) will have an increasingly pivotal role in the first two of these. New scientific developments now underpin the best practice approach. Much of the innovation around polyp resection has come from our team at Westmead. Prof Cesare Hassan, a world leader in AI, from Rome, Italy joined the discussion.
