Underline the boldface term that best completes the meaning of the sentences

Dr. Butler is a physician who operates on hearts. He trained as a (neurologic,

cardiovascular, pulmonary) surgeon. Often, his procedures require that Dr. Smith,

urologist, gastroenterologist). A (laparoscopy,
colonoscopy, bronchoscopy) was scheduled, which
revealed a large pedunculated (on a stalk) polyp in the
descending colon (see image, right). The polyp was
resected and sent to the (pathology, hematology,
infectious disease) department for evaluation.
Fortunately, it was a noncancerous or (malignant,
metastatic, benign) lesion. Sam will need follow-up
(laparotomy, endoscopy, laparoscopy) in a year.
