Description
Summary:	5774 colonoscopies were performed in 5 years, --including 2877 total colonoscopies and 1338 polypectomies. This confirms the diagnostic and therapeutic value of this method. Increasing experience of the endoscopist, better techniques as well as adequate pre-and postoperative care contribute to decreasing the risk of the polypectomy. If coagulation current is used exclusively the risk of bleeding can be lowered considerably.
