I have a 4mm sessile colonic polyp. it wasn't removed but the penuculated ones were, they were also colonic ones at 7mm. why? is this strange? thanks.

NMS: This is not my specialty but i would venture to guess that a sessile polyp is more risky to remove and the size is not too alarming. Did your GI ask you to return for a follow-up procedure? I think this is the question you need to ask the doctor about.
