- Results of total colonoscopy in the diagnosis of polyps. Case studies in Villavicencio, Colombia Mauricio Alberto Melo-Peñaloza Medicina Colonoscopy Colonic polyps Proctosigmoidoscopy Cancer Screening (MeSH) Introduction: Any elevation above the normal plane of the colonic mucosa is considered a polypoid projection. As age increases, polyps are more likely to be found; in addition, polyps larger than 1 cm of diameter may potentially lead to a malignant neoplasm.Objective: To establish the frequency, size, location and age groups of colonic polyp lesions in patients who underwent colonoscopy at Hospital Departamental in Villavicencio during 2009-2014.Materials and methods: The results of 411 diagnostic colonoscopies were analyzed. Data collection and statistical description was done using SPPSS 2011 software.Results: 43 (11%) polyps were smaller than 1cm; 16 (4%) were between 1cm and 2cm long; no polyps larger than 2cm were found, and the remaining results did not show any abnormality. Polyps were found in all segments of the colon in the 41-50 age group, but the highest percentage (11%) was observed in the 71-80 age group. 68.7% ofpolyps larger than 1cm and 67% smaller than 1cm were found in the left colon.Conclusion: In population groups under 40 years of age, the incidence of polyps is low in the left colon and very low in the right colon. 2017 artículo científico 2357-3848 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=576364413009 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5763/576364413009/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5763/576364413009/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5763/576364413009/576364413009.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5763/576364413009/movil 10.15446/revfacmed.v65n3.49484 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5763 Revista de la Facultad de Medicina application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revista de la Facultad de Medicina (Colombia) Num.3 Vol.65
