Tu1045 INCIDENCE OF DELAYED POST POLYPECTOMY BLEEDING REQUIRING HOSPITAL ADMISSION IN A NATIONAL COHORT

Colonoscopic polypectomy is an essential part of colonoscopy. It reduces the incidence of colon cancer and the requirement for surgery. Post polypectomy bleeding is one of the most common complications of polypectomy. It can be intra-operative which can be easily treated, or delayed which often requires admission and/or repeat procedure. The rates of delayed post polypectomy bleeding have never been studied in a national population. The primary aim of our study is to define the rate of delayed post polypectomy bleeding requiring hospital admission.
