Patient was experiencing Hematochezia for several months which showed Diverticulitis. The cause of her symptoms was due to the polyps in the colon that had reached about 20cm long because of an Adenocarcinoma . This was diagnosed through a colonoscopy where the entire colon is examined using a endoscope from the anus region up to the colon, and then they take a sample of the colon to be sent for a biopsy to see if any cancerous tissues are found. The procedure to remove these polyps was a sigmoid colectomy after it is controlled with antibiotics and bowel prep. This can be done by either opening up the stomach from the naval region or done laparoscopically. (Source was from: mkuh.nhs.uk)
