Abstract

Colonic polyps are not rare in Brunei Darussalam with an incidence of 13% in 193 colonoscopies performed over the last two years. Majority of the polyps were adenomatous. Incidence was higher in the Malays and had a male preponderance. Commonest age of presentation was above the age of 40 years and the pattern is comparable to the Western pattern. All the polyps were removed by colonoscopic polypectomy.
