Local Excision of Large Rectal Villous Adenomas

Abstract: Providing that adequate intraoperative exposure is obtained and advanced malignant tumors receive immediate secondary treatment, transanal resection of clinically benign, large rectal villous adenomas is safe and effective. It is an alternative to rectal resection, which exposes the patient to potentially adverse effects, and also to destructive procedures, which preclude any histologic evaluation of the tumor.

“…Many authors tend to present the method they use as the most adequate in all types of polyp. Actually the similar satisfactory results obtained in large series of polyps including high (>10 cm from the anal verge) and large (>10 cm in diameter) lesions by experienced surgeons who adopted different techniques suggest that the operator is possibly the most important variable for a successful excision of a polyp [16,17].…”

“…A recent publication [16] on the long-term results of this technique (30% of the polyps were 8-12 cm from the anal margin and 68% had a diameter larger than 4 cm) reports a recurrence rate of adenomas of 2% and 1.5% of carcinomas with a complication rate similar to the one of the classic Parks' approach. In the experience of another of the authors (DS), with 42 polyps treated (4-12 cm from the anal margin, diameter 1.5-6 cm) by this technique (28 benign lesions, 3 Tis, 11 T1), the results were comparable to the ones reported above (6% complication rate, 4% recurrent adenoma, 2.3% appearance of carcinoma).…”

“…In a long series of 117 procedures, Sakamoto et al [7] treated 27% of patients for residual disease and 30% for recurrence, with a 10% rate of serious complications. In a recent study, Pigot et al [8] obtained better results: they resected apparently benign rectal adenomas from 207 consecutive patients with a 3.6% recurrence rate, eight postoperative complications, and one death. Specific recurrence-free probability was 99.5% at 1 year, 96% at 5 years, and 95% at 10 years.…”

“…The main decision is whether the adenoma can be removed by local resection and, if so, by which technique. The options include an endoscopic piecemeal snare resection [7, 8], an open transanal resection (Parks) [4, 9, 10], a posterior parasacral resection (Mason) [11, 12], a posterior transsacral resection (Kraske) [13], or a transanal endoscopic microsurgical resection [14, 15]. The choice of the procedure may be influenced by preoperative staging and histological features.…”
