Where is the distal transverse colon? i had a colon polyp removed and that is what the report says as the location that the polyp was found.

Under ribs: The transverse colon crosses from the left to right under your ribs(usually).Distal means away from beginning(right lower abdomen). I suspect the polyp was under your left rib cage.The important part is repeat colonoscopy at interval recommended by the GI dr.

Left upper abdomen.: The left transverse colon would usually lie in the left mid to upper abdomen.

Left upper abdomen: The colon, or large intestine begins in the right lower portion of the abdomen near your hip bone up towards your right upper abdomen. It then runs across your upper abdomen from right to left before ending in the sigmoid colon in your left lower abdomen near your left hip bone. The transverse colon runs from your right to left upper abdomen. The distal transverse s at left upper abdomen.

Transberse colon: It runs from the area of your liver (proximal) to the area of your spleen(distal), transverse colon runs from the right side to left side of your upper abdomen.
