Delayed bleeding after colonoscopic polypectomy can occur, even weeks after the procedure. This case highlights a rare instance of severe bleeding 29 days post-polypectomy, successfully treated with repeat colonoscopy.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Surgery

Background:

  • Colonoscopic polypectomy is a common procedure for removing colorectal polyps.
  • Bleeding is a known complication, typically occurring within days of the procedure.
  • Standard treatment involves colonoscopic electrocauterization.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with severe, acute bleeding 29 days after colonoscopic removal of a cecal flat adenomatous polyp.
  • This delayed bleeding occurred significantly later than the commonly reported intervals.

Findings:

  • Repeat colonoscopy identified the source of bleeding at the polypectomy site.
  • Successful hemostasis was achieved through colonoscopic cauterization.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known timeline for significant post-polypectomy bleeding.

  • Clinicians should consider delayed bleeding as a possibility in patients with a history of polypectomy presenting with gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
  • Endoscopic management remains effective for late-onset bleeding complications.
