Table 1 Summary of key studies on polypectomy in ulcerative colitis
| Ref. | Patients | Lesion type | Polypectomy outcome | Cancer risk post-polypectomy | Recommendation |
| Rubin et al[5], 1999 | 48 | Dysplastic polyps in UC | 48% developed new polyps; no flat dysplasia or cancer in follow-up | 2% (1 case within polyp) | Polypectomy with surveillance |
| Odze et al[6], 2004 | 34 | Adenoma-like DALM | 62.5% recurred; 1 case of adenocarcinoma | About 3% | Polypectomy if lesion well-circumscribed |
| Vieth et al[7], 2006 | 148 | Sporadic adenomas | 4.6% had distant neoplasia; 2.3% carcinoma | 2.3% | Adequate if followed by endoscopic monitoring |
| Engelsgjerd et al[9], 1999 | Case series | Adenoma-like DALMs | Similar profile to sporadic adenomas | Minimal | Supports conservative management |
| Kisiel et al[8], 2012 | 77 | Polypoid dysplasia | 13% developed cancer/flat dysplasia | 13% over 5 years | Requires close follow-up |
| Schaus et al[10], 2007 | 23 | Ileal pouch polyps | 91.3% inflammatory; 8.7% dysplastic/malignant | 8.7% | Polypectomy + symptom monitoring |
