The rectum is a component of the lower gastrointestinal tract. It is a continuation of the sigmoid colon, and connects to the anus. The rectum acts as a temporary storage site for feces.
A colorectal polyp is a polyp (fleshy growth) occurring on the lining of the colon or rectum. Untreated colorectal polyps can develop into colorectal cancer. Most polyps can be removed during colonoscopy, but some polyps require removal of the colon and/or rectum.
