The risk is higher in lesions larger than one centimeter in diameter, villous component and advanced dysplasia (advanced polyps).Extraction decreases the frequency of malignancies development. Clinically they can cause gastrointestinal bleeding, protein loss and, sometimes, be the engine of an intussusception. They may contain Carcinoma and endoscopic resection be a curative procedure.Endoscopic resection is an excellent alternative to conventional surgery with less morbidity and lower.cost The frequency of advanced neoplasia and dysplastic changes is greater in lesions 2 cm or more. Complications such as bleeding occur more frequently in large pedunculated lesions and perforation is higher in sessile lesions extended^(1,2).
