Complications of colonoscopy surveillance of patients with Lynch syndrome – 33 years of follow up
Colonoscopy surveillance for LS patients shows a comparatively low risk of AEs per-examination. Colonoscopy complications per-patient, including both SAEs and AEs, show a significantly higher risk. Colonoscopy complications only including SAEs, show a comparatively low risk. Understanding the lifetime risk of surveillance-related colonoscopy complications is important when designing targeted surveillance programmes.
