Hybrid laparoendoscopic technologies in treatment of large colon polyps

Abstract

Resection of “difficult” polyps is associated with high risks of intra- and postoperative complications. About 10 % of polyps are not amenable to endoscopic resection due to technical difficulties. Routinely, for the treatment of big size laterally spread tumors and early tumor of bowel segmental resections is used, which had a significantly higher risks of postoperative complications development. Hybrid laparoendoscopic surgery included a combination of laparoscopic and endoscopic technologies becomes a great opportunity to local bowel resection. This surgical procedure is accompanied by a minimal risk frequency of postoperative complications and the length of stay. In the two clinical cases we demonstrate techniques of hybrid laparoendoscopic surgery for “difficult” endoscopically unresectable polyps of the colon.
