    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Retrograde fiberoptic colonoscopy during laparotomy detected additional colon polyps in 5 of 12 patients. This technique is valuable for identifying multiple polyps when suspected.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Endoscopy

    Background:

    • Colon polyps can be numerous and difficult to detect.
    • Radiological evidence of lesions necessitates thorough examination.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of retrograde fiberoptic colonoscopy during laparotomy for detecting additional colon polyps.
    • To assess the utility of this method in cases with suspected multiple polypi.

    Main Methods:

    • Total retrograde fiberoptic colonoscopy was performed on the unopened bowel.
    • The procedure was conducted in 12 patients with radiologically-proven colon lesions.

    Main Results:

    • Additional polyps were discovered in 5 out of 12 patients.
    • In 4 of these patients, the additional polyps were not palpable through the bowel wall.

    Conclusions:

    • Retrograde fiberoptic colonoscopy during laparotomy is effective in detecting otherwise missed colon polyps.
    • This endoscopic approach is indicated when multiple polyps are suspected based on initial findings.
