Core Tip |
This paper shows that of the 139 patients who underwent routine colonoscopy after an episode of acute diverticulitis, the incidence of adenomatous and malignant colonic polyps discovered were 10% and 0% respectively. These figures are similar to that in the general population. In addition all the polyps were discovered in the left colon, therefore a flexible sigmoidoscopy may be adequate for the purpose of excluding the presence of neoplastic lesions. |
