Abstract
Colonoscopy with polypectomy is widely accepted as the optimal means for screening and surveillance for colorectal cancer and for the management of pre-cancerous polyps. The procedure is generally safe and well tolerated. The major risks directly related to colonoscopy with polypectomy are bleeding, perforation, and post-polypectomy burn syndrome. This article details strategies to minimize the risk and enhance the management of complications associated with colonoscopic polypectomy.
