  • Title: [Sessile tubulo-villous polyps in the rectum: problems of diagnosis and treatment. Personal experience].

    Journal: Minerva Chir; 1989 Jun 15; 44(11):1573-7. PubMed ID: 2771109.
    Abstract:
    A retrospective analysis was performed on 22 patients (mean age 65) in whom preoperative rectosigmoidoscopy had diagnosed tubulovillous rectal polyp. In 12 cases the polyps were removed transanally and the remaining 10 were subjected to laparotomy. The incidence of error in the preoperative histological diagnosis was 18.2% (9% for the nature and 10% for degree of dysplasia of the polyp). There were 25% recurrences after transanal exeresis, 10% after laparotomy. Total survival at 42 months was 86.3%. The study confirms the validity of transanal exeresis of tubulovillous polyps of the rectum assuming careful preoperative patient selection.
