Abstract:
Surgical treatment of adenomas may become necessary when the base of the polyp is too wide for snaring, increasing the risk of incomplete removal or perforation of the bowel wall. Suspicion of malignancy may also indicate surgery. Multiple adenomas not controlled by snare polypectomy can be treated by colectomy. The different approaches of surgical treatment are described.
