Had a colonoscopy this week, and my doctor said that a 12mm colon polyp is considered medium size.
a 10mm polyp is less than a half inch in diameter. Whether that is considered small or large depends on its location.
the size of a dime
3 mm is considered diminutive, ie small. Something that is 1 cm (ie 10 mm) or more is large.
11.81 inches
The Cecum is the first portion of the large bowel and is joined to the small bowel. A polyp in the Cecum would have to be removed surgically, as polyps can become cancerous.
12mm
I'm trying to find this too. A 2mm is small and a 20mm is large, but I have a 12mm brain cyst and cannot find how serious it may be and if it's causing my multitude of neurological symptoms.
It is a polyp. Good question!
It is considered to be a colonial animal because of the species that it brought through the environment that the coral is formed in.
Polyp
You have to ligate the proximal end of the polyp tightly and distal portion is excised.
