PPCS may resemble perforation. Recognition of PPCS is important, since treatment usually does not require surgery, unlike gastrointestinal perforation. Laboratory studies may show elevated white blood cell count (leukocytosis) and elevated inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein. CT scan of the abdomen may show severe mural thickening ...
Colonic polypectomy is the removal of colorectal polyps in order to prevent them from turning cancerous. Method of removing a polyp with a snare Gastrointestinal polyps can be removed endoscopically through colonoscopy or esophagogastroduodenoscopy , or surgically if the polyp is too large to be removed endoscopically.
Endoclips have found use in treating gastrointestinal bleeding (both in the upper and lower GI tract), in preventing bleeding after therapeutic procedures such as polypectomy, and in closing gastrointestinal perforations. Many forms of endoclips exist of different shapes and sizes, including two and three prong devices, which can be ...
The polyps are routinely removed at the time of colonoscopy, either with a wire loop known as a polypectomy snare (first description by P. Deyhle, Germany, 1970), [12] or with biopsy forceps. If an adenomatous polyp is found, it must be removed, since such a polyp is pre-cancerous and has a propensity to become cancerous.

Therefore, an absence of polyps in, for example, the rectum, may not of itself be sufficient to confirm absence of polyps.
For example, a picture of an album cover should not be given the name "File:Cover.jpg", as sooner or later someone else will try to do the same thing and overwrite the old image. The new image will then appear wherever the old one was used—in this case, an album article would then show the wrong album cover.
