Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to present our experience with colon polyps detected during colonoscopy in our endoscopy unit.
 Methods: The files of patients who underwent colonoscopy and at least one polyp detected with colonoscopy in our endoscopy unit between March 2016 and March 2018 were reviewed retrospectively. 
 Results: We included 428 patients in the study. While 96 (22.4%) polyps were located in more than one colon segment,102 (23.8%) polyps were located in the rectum, 108 (25.2%) in the sigmoid colon, 33 (7.7%) in the descending colon, 41 (9.6%) in the splenic flexure, 25 (5.8%) in the transverse colon, 2 (0.5%) in the hepatic flexure, 33 (7.7%) were in the ascending colon, 20 (4.7%) were in the cecum. 
 Conclusion: 
 The compatibility of our polypectomy results with the literature can be considered as an indicator of the quality of colonoscopic examinations performed in our clinic.
