    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate surgical treatment of rectal villous adenomas. METHODS: Forty-nine cases of rectal villous adenomas treated with different surgical procedures were reviewed. Twenty (40.8%) of 49 patients had Mason's operation, eleven(22.4%) had Dixon's operation, eighteen (36.8%) had transanal excision and other procedures. RESULTS: Seventeen(34.7%) of 49 were villous adenomas containing invasive carcinoma. The rates of recurrence and complication of Mason's operation were 0% and 10% (2/20), Dixon's operation were both 18% (2/11), other procedures were 33.3% (6/18) and 16.7% (3/18). CONCLUSION: Mason's operation for most cases of villous adenomas at mid and low rectum can be a safe and effective method of treatment.
