Dr. Rishi Chadha, MD is a board‑certified gastroenterologist who specializes in preventive gastroenterology, colorectal cancer screening, and minimally invasive endoscopic procedures. He completed his fellowship at Sunrise Health GME in Las Vegas and previously trained in internal medicine at St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Connecticut.
He employs the state of art HD endoscopes in determining flat or shallow serrated polyps during a normal colonoscopy.
Sessile serrated lesions and dysplasia is confirmed by taking specific tissue samples under the microscope.
Another non-invasive imaging, which provides the detailed picture of the entire colon where it is required.
Code D12.9 ( benign neoplasm of colon, unspecified) is coded in such a way that it is reported correctly and follow-up arrangements developed.
Should be applied in the children whose family has a history of colorectal polyps or cancer to identify a genetical predisposition.

A high or a flat colon polyp filled with tooth-like cells, which can cause cancer in case of neglect.
No. SSs start to be non-cancerous, whereas some of them may, over time, acquire cancer unless they are taken out.
The shape of SSLs is asymmetrical in terms of cell patterns of serrated (saw-tooth) cells and they are likely to be hidden in the folds of the colon unlike adenoma, which presents a different pattern of a cellular structure.
D12.9 benign colon neoplasm, unspecified.
Yes. The symptoms of an early onset of cancer are not seen in dysplastic SSLs, and yet, the surgical operation is necessary to prevent the occurrence of this.
Typically, the size, the number and pathology of the removed polyps determine when to do this (usually after 3-5 years).
Yes. Eating more fiber, eating less red meat and processed meat, exercising, quitting smoking and alcohol in moderation can help to lower your risk.
Most of the CSSs undergo deletion by colonoscopy support and by the assistance of the minimally invasive measures like the cold snare polypetomy or endoscopic mucosal resection.
Yes. The occurrence ofSSLs is predisposed by the presence of a parent/sibling with colon polyps or colorectal cancer.
Among the instructions is the use of bowel prep kit which Dr. Chadha prescribed, taking the Kit, adhering to the clear liquid diet, and coming to the procedure well-hydrated.
