AB - Colonic polyps are common and frequently encountered during optical colonoscopy (OC) [1]. The association between adenomas of the large bowel and colorectal cancer (CRC) is well established [2]. Polypectomy is carried out when polyps are identified at OC, to reduce the risk of CRC developing [3]. The relative risk of adverse events is greater for those undergoing therapeutic OC compared with diagnostic OC, but the absolute risk remains low [4]. Overall, for most patients the benefits of polypectomy outweigh the risks.
