  • Title: Endoscopic Nd-YAG laser surgery in the treatment of villous adenomas of the rectum.
    Author: Maciel J, Barbosa J, Júnior A.
    Journal: Hepatogastroenterology; 1994 Feb; 41(1):58-60. PubMed ID: 8175118.
    Abstract:
    In the majority of cases, conventional techniques for the treatment of villous tumors of the rectum are, if they are to be effective, too aggressive for this usually benign pathology. Our experience with the outpatient laser treatment of 31 patients leads us to conclude that this is a safe and effective technique, which should be attempted before a colectomy or abdominoperineal amputation is indicated.
