Do colon polyps grow after surgery?

The probability of recurrence of colon polyps at the original site after removal is very small, but reoccurrence at other sites is possible. In general, after the removal of colon polyps, the probability of reoccurrence of polyps in the original growth site is very small, unless the polyps have developed into high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, or part of the cut is not completely clean, it is possible to grow polyps again near the original site. The reappearance of colon polyps in other parts of the body after removal is more common in clinical practice. However, it is not possible to generalize, whether or not colon polyps are growing after removal, the pathological type of colon polyps, personal dietary habits are closely related, such as high-fat, high-protein diets, etc. are prone to colon polyps. If you find colon polyps, please go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor to choose the appropriate treatment to avoid adverse consequences. After colon polypectomy, it is recommended to have regular (e.g. one year) follow-up colonoscopy or follow the doctor’s instructions.
