recurrence of large colorectal polyps after resection is common, but rarely malignant. A study of 800 cases found a 20% recurrence rate on first surveillance colonoscopy, but no adenocarcinomas were detected. These lesions can typically be successfully treated during follow-up exams. The research highlights the importance of surveillance colonoscopies following resection of large colorectal polyps to monitor for recurrence and ensure timely treatment.
