ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND/AIMS:
Surveillance of individuals with colon polyps is important for the prevention of colon cancer, and its interval is based on the clinical status. Our aims were to determine the recurrence rate of advanced polyp after polypectomy and estimate the adequate interval of surveillance colonoscopy as well as the risk factors of recurrence in Korea.METHODS:
Ninety-seven patients who underwent follow-up colonoscopy after initial colonoscopic polypectomy were retrospectively studied. All polyps were endoscopically removed with electrocautery. RESUTLS Mean number of initial polyps were 2.2 and advanced polyps were observed in 40% of the patients. The cumulative recurrence rate of colon polyp was 13.8% within 1 year, and 60% within 3 years, while that of advanced polyps was 2.5% and 31% within 1 and 3 years, respectively. The significant difference was noted according to the initial polyp number in both overall and advanced polyp recurrence rate. The age at the diagnosis of colon polyps was a significant factor only in overall polyp recurrence rate. Patients who initially had one polyp showed 15% of advanced polyp recurrence within 3 years.CONCLUSIONS:
Recurrence of advanced polyp is very rare within one year after polypectomy. Patients with single polyp have low risk and thus, their surveillance may be delayed beyond the standard 3 years. When surveillance colonoscopy is to be performed for the patients with 2 or more polyps, initial polyp number and age should be considered.
