[Non-neoplastic polyps of the colon].
Non-neoplastic colon polyps are benign lesions with normal histology components, we present our experience with colonoscopy polypectomy in 10 years. We resected 187 polyps in 96 patients (50 males) with medium age of 49.3 years and range 2-82. Most common indication was hemorrhage (37%) taking out the hyperplastic polyps who were found in asymptomatic patients with the highest frequency (41%). Juvenile polyps follows with 25%. 71% polyps were unique but hamaetomatous polyps of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome were multiple (39%). Juvenile (retention) polyps were found among the youngest patients (average 13.2 years) and frequently had hemorrhage (21-25). Lipomas were found in elder patients (range 52.5 years). We had no major complications with hemorrhage or mortality, minor complications were found in 3.09%.
