Case description

Another image and video clip of the status post endoscopic polypectomy. The entire colon must be examined during the polypectomy so that any synchronous lesions can be detected and removed. Approximately 50% of patients will have a second adenomatous polyp at the time of initial colonoscopy, while metachronous polyps are found in 20-50% of patients within five years of the initial polypectomy. If follow-up colonoscopy verifies that no residual polyps exist, colonoscopy should be repeated within three years and thereafter every five years.
