Abstract:
Colo-anal sleeve resection was performed for rectal hemangioma extending from the upper end of the anal canal to the rectosigmoid in two adults and a child. The indication for surgery was recurrent rectal bleeding. Anastomotic stricture formed in one patient, but was easily dilated. After observation for 2-12 months, all patients were completely continent, with normal 24-hour stool frequency. Colo-anal sleeve resection is advocated as the treatment of choice for large rectal hemangioma.
