Laparoscopic-assisted polypectomy offers a minimally invasive approach for removing sessile colonic polyps. This technique enables complete polyp excision, potentially avoiding the need for colonic resection in select patients.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Sessile colonic polyps pose a challenge for complete endoscopic removal.
  • Surgical resection is often considered for larger or difficult-to-remove polyps.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the technique of endoscopic polypectomy with laparoscopic assistance.
  • To evaluate the feasibility of this combined approach for sessile colonic polyp removal.

Main Methods:

  • A technique combining endoscopic polyp removal with laparoscopic surgical guidance was developed.
  • A retrospective review of cases where this technique was applied was conducted.

Main Results:

  • The laparoscopic-assisted endoscopic polypectomy was successfully performed in three patients.

  • The procedure allowed for the complete removal of polypoid colonic lesions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic-assisted polypectomy provides a method for complete excision of moderate-sized sessile colonic polyps.
    • This approach may serve as an alternative to colonic resection for specific patient cases.
