Do you have Complex Polyps?
Most colon polyps are small clumps of abnormal cells on the inner lining of the colon and can be removed safely and effectively during your colonoscopy.
But 10-15% are deemed too large, too complex, and/or too hard to reach during a typical colonoscopy screening–these are considered complex polyps.
Depending on the unique circumstances of your polyp, and your doctor’s professional opinion, your removal options may allow you to make a choice between a SURGICAL approach or an ENDOSURGICAL (ENDOLUMINAL) approach, which has the potential to be colon-sparing.
