Had A 12mm Sessile Serrated Adenoma Removed From The Right
Question: had a 12mm sessile serrated adenoma removed from the right side of my colon. when should a follow up colonoscopy be performed .
Brief Answer:
Not specific. Depends on symptomatology.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns.
A sessile mass is an immobile one and an adenoma is a non-cancerous tumor. However, since most adenomas do not show any cancerous transformation, you are unlikely to need rapid follow-ups colonoscopies.
Your requirement of follow up colonoscopy would be determined by your colonic issues (the problems you have). If you do not have any specific problems, maybe follow up in a couple of years should be fine.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
