  • Title: [A rational surgical procedure in diffuse polyposis and multiple primary cancer against a background of polyps of the large intestine].
    Author: Mel'nikov RA, Pravosudov IV, Guliaev AV, Kovalev VK, Korkhov VV, Simonov NN.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1996; (1):34-7. PubMed ID: 8753956.
    Abstract:
    Under examination there were 292 patients. An analysis of results of treatment enabled the authors to conclude that surgical treatment of patients with diffuse polyposis of the colon is the method of choice. The method and volume of operations must be determined according to the involvement of the colon in polyposis, the age and state of the patients. The best method of surgery is a one-step radical operation-subtotal resection of the colon. Polyps concomitant to cancer of the colon should be ablated before the main operation since their histological analysis can change the volume of the planned radical operation. When choosing the method of surgical intervention for patients with primary-multiple cancer against the background of polyps the total portion of the colon with polyps should be ablated.
