Colorectal polyps are elevated epithelial lesions and can be pediculate, subpediculate or sessile. They are classified in non neoplastic and neoplastic polyps. Methods: Descriptive and retrospective study. Endoscopies reports and pathological anatomies reports from 2004, we reviewed personal data, endoscopic and pathologic characteristics of the polyps, endoscopic associate findings and technique of polipectomies. Results: Colorectales polyps in 49 patients from 799 endoscopies (6.13%) corresponding most prevalence to the female sex (73.5%) with more frequency in the fifth decade of life. The reason of consult varied from abdominal pain to lower gastrointestinal bleeding and polipectomy indication. The polyp endoscopic characteristics showed that sessile were more frequent, located in their majority in the rectum, the preponderant size was from 5 to 10 mm and mostly unique. The histopathology type of the polyps was hyperplasic with a42.9% and adenomatous 40.8%. 100% The adenomatous polyps had some grade of dysplasia. The techniques for endoscopy polipectomy were cold biopsy forced and diathermic snare . Conclusions: hiperplastic and adenomatous polyps are the most common, lesions, these lesions justify endoscopic polypectomy and histological examination.
