About

Colonoscopy has been shown to reduce both the colo-rectal cancer incidence and mortality, due to its capability to detect and remove precancerous lesions. However, polypectomy is associated with complications, such as bleeding and perforation, with an estimated overall incidence of about 10%, with polyp size and right-sided location considered as major risk factors. Aim of present study was to prospectively evaluate the early and delayed (30-days follow-up) complications of polypectomy in a multicenter regional Italian real practice setting
