Core Tip	Large, flat, right sided polyps are being recognized with increasing frequency, and have become one of the more technically challenging aspects of colonoscopy. In a prospective study of over 4500 consecutive colonoscopies performed in a community, ambulatory endoscopy center, the prevalence of these polyps was 5%. We showed that it was safe to remove these polyps in the outpatient setting, and that clipping the mucosal defect prevented perforations. An average of 2 clips were required to close the defects, and the average polypectomy time was 13 min. It is not necessary to perform these procedures in a hospital setting.
