Abstract Background and aims There are conflicting data concerning the association between diverticular disease and colorectal carcinoma CRC.
Materials and methods In a cross-sectional, retrospective study, we analyzed the colonoscopy reports of complete colonoscopies and patho-histological results of all patients referred for colonoscopy in a period of 3 months in 18 hospitals in The Netherlands. Introduction The prevalence of diverticulosis and subsequently diverticulitis is increasing in the last decades [ 1 , 2 ].
Materials and methods Patients In a 3-month period from September to November , 4, outpatients who underwent colonoscopy in 18 hospitals in the region of North Holland were included. Methods The reports of 3 months complete colonoscopies and pathohistological results were entered in a database coding for age, sex, indication, medical history as present, endoscopic findings like inflammation, diverticula, polyps, CRC, and pathohistological results.
Statistical analysis The frequency, location, and size of polyps are described in patients with diverticulosis and diverticulitis as well as frequency of colorectal cancer. Table 1 Histopatholical results and location of the polyps Full size table. Discussion In this retrospective, cross-sectional study, we examined the relationship between diverticulosis, diverticulitis, polyps, ANL, and CRC in a group of 4, consecutive patients undergoing colonoscopy for various reasons.

We will continue to do so by following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control, the Virginia Department of Health, and the Governor. We have resumed in-person office visits and have been so happy to see patients in person again. We missed you. We know that colorectal screenings, and especially colonoscopies, prevent cancer and save lives. Some patients delayed preventive care such as screening colonoscopies and annual skin cancer check-ups during the pandemic.
If you are one of them, we encourage you to delay no longer. Preventive care saves lives. Abou-Assi, MD J. Brand Jr. Davis, MD P. Eid, MD Henry M. Ellett, MD Michael T. Seamon, MD Irvin J. Seeman, MD, Retired M. Talreja, MD Andy J. What do the measurements of polyps actually mean i. A 10mm polyp is about the size of the tip of your pinkie. When will my stools be back to normal?
What do I do if I see blood in my stool? Proposed common mechanisms for both include lack of dietary fiber, increased saturated fats, and slow colonic transit time. The association of diverticulosis and colorectal polyps has been previously reported with conflicting results. Despite sharing common epidemiologic predisposing factors, the association between diverticulosis and colon polyps remains unclear and needs better clarification. Aim: The primary aim of our study is to evaluate if there is any association between diverticular disease and colorectal polyps.
Materials and methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. All consecutive patients who underwent colonoscopy between January and December were included, except those with history of inflammatory bowel disease, polyposis syndrome, and poor bowel preparation.
