A gentle abdominal exam helps check for tenderness, masses, or other signs of colorectal issues.
Any detected polyps are carefully excised (polypectomy) during the colonoscopy. Tissue samples are sent to the laboratory to confirm the diagnosis.
Findings are recorded in your medical record using ICD-10 code D12.0 (Tubular adenoma of colon) to ensure accurate tracking and follow-up.
