The discovery of multiple polyps upon a routine colonoscopic screen of an apparently healthy asymptomatic elderly patient, combined with microscopic, immunohistochemical, and cytogenetic analysis, led to a diagnosis of an unusual—and often difficult to treat—malignancy.Michael...
Among 192 patients who underwent complete colonoscopy at initial diagnosis, 117 (60.9%) had a single polyp, 75 (39.1%) had multiple polyps, 8 (4.2%) had polyps restricted to the right colon, and a total of 1653 polyps were found during 350 colonoscopy examinations. Polyps recurred in 21 ...
New, technically advanced methods such as narrow-band imaging (NBI), magnifying chromoendoscopy (CE), and autofluorescence imaging (AFI) are described, along with their current and possible future roles in colonoscopy to diagnose polyps histologically before the pathologist has even seen a specimen....

In addition, for treating (removing/biopsying) polyps or lesions found on the side walls of the colon, tip sections that have one or more front working channels only need to be retracted and repositioned with their front facing the polyp or lesion. This re-positioning of the tip may result...
For both surveillance intervals, the group with the largest number of adenomas found at the index procedure had a higher adenoma yield during surveillance. Overall, adenomas were found in 67.8% of patients with multiple adenomas found at the index colonoscopy (groups A, B, D) and in 43.6% ...
