Laparoscopy-assisted endoscopic polyp excision safely removes large colon polyps, preventing perforation complications. This technique aids in prompt diagnosis and treatment, avoiding septic issues and guiding patient selection for colonic resection.

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

Colonic perforation is a feared complication during removal of large sessile polyps.
Endoscopic polyp excision carries risks, necessitating safe and effective techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopy-assisted endoscopic polyp excision for moderate-to-large sessile polyps.
To assess the technique's role in managing potential colonic perforations.

Main Methods:

Complete colonoscopic total excision of polyps.
Laparoscopic assistance for diagnosis and management of complications.
Patient selection for appropriate colonic resection.

Main Results:

Laparoscopy-assisted endoscopic polyp excision can be safely performed.

The technique enables prompt diagnosis and treatment of colonic perforation.

Septic complications were avoided, and appropriate colonic resection selection was facilitated without increased morbidity or mortality.

Conclusions:

Laparoscopy-assisted endoscopic polyp excision is a safe and effective method for removing large sessile colonic polyps.
This approach mitigates the risk of perforation and associated septic complications.
It optimizes patient management by guiding decisions on colonic resection.
