A member asked:
5 years back colonoscopy showed polyp in hepatic flexure and rectum.this year i have done the colonoscopy again but no polyp in hepatic flexure,why.an?

Colon polyps: Usually when colon polyps are discovered, they are removed at the time of the colonoscopy. Presumably, your gastroenterologist removed those two polyps at the time of the first procedure, and evidently they have not grown back, which is good. If there is confusion, you can ask the previous gastroenterologist to review the first procedure report. Hope that helps.
