Background: in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) surveillance colonoscopy an increased number of biopsy specimens correlates with a higher dysplasia detection rate. Larger biopsy specimens may also increase the diagnostic yield.Objective: To compare a new jumbo forceps with a standard large capacity forceps ill obtaining diagnostically adequate IBD surveillance biopsy specimens.Design: Prospective single-center study.Patients and Methods: Twenty-four patients who were undergoing an IBD surveillance colonoscopy were enrolled. As part of standard IBD surveillance, 8 paired biopsy specimens were obtained from the rectosigmoid by using the jumbo forceps and a standard large-capacity forceps.Outcome Measurements: Biopsy specimens were deemed adequate if they met all 3 of the following criteria: (1) length >= 3 (2) penetration into the muscularis mucosa, and (3) < 20% crush artifact.Results: The proportion of adequate biopsy specimens obtained with the jumbo forceps was significantly higher than than it obtained with the large-capacity control forceps (67% vs 48%, P
