Can polyps be missed during a colonoscopy?

Very good question. I would say no test in medicine is absolutely 100% in diagnostic rates. There is always a small missed rate, so a colonoscopy will likely detect around 99% or so of polyps. Sometimes there are reasons why polyps may be missed during the colonoscopy because the intestine, the curvature of one’s intestine, varies from person to person. Sometimes there is an acute angle where the view of the scope to see or examine is not full or the entire circumference of the intestine you would like to see.

How are colon polyps treated?

Polyps in the colon can be broadly classified as pre-cancerous polyps or polyps without cancer potential. The polyps are seen during colonoscopy. Your endoscopist will look at the polyp and magnify the scope to visualise the surface characteristics of the polyp. If all the features are consistent with a polyp which has no cancer potential, it can be left alone. If the polyp looks like a pre-cancerous polyp, your endoscopist will remove it whenever possible. If your endoscopist is unsure, the polyp is removed for confirmation.
