The colon, or large intestine, is the final segment of the digestive system. Its primary functions include absorbing water and vitamins produced by gut bacteria and transforming waste from liquid to solid to form stool. In adults, the large intestine is approximately 5 feet long and consists of four main sections:

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Advanced endoscopic resection is preferred for complex colorectal polyps, shifting from surgical management.
  • Interhospital consultation and referral for these cases remain challenging, leading to avoidable surgeries.
  • A regional expert panel was established to improve peer consultation and referral for complex colorectal polyps.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the implementation, adaptation, and clinical impact of a regional expert panel for complex colorectal polyps.
  • To assess user satisfaction among panel members.
  • To optimize the management and referral pathways for patients with complex colorectal polyps.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of panel consultations from June 2019 to May 2021.
  • Evaluation of user satisfaction among participating endoscopists.
  • Inclusion of 88 patients with complex colorectal polyps from 11 centers.

Main Results:

  • Suspicion of invasive cancer was the most common reason for consultation (36.4%).
  • Panel consultations led to changes in treatment strategy (43.2%) and interhospital referrals (63.6%).
  • Surgery was avoided in 26.9% of cases initially proposed for surgical treatment; user satisfaction was high (91.7%).

Conclusions:

  • A regional expert panel is a valuable tool for optimizing treatment of complex colorectal polyps.
  • The panel facilitates interhospital referrals and peer consultations within a regional network.
  • Implementation of such a panel can guide endoscopists and improve patient care pathways.
