An alternative to transcolonic polypectomy, transabdominally directed, transanal colonoscopic polypectomy, for patients who require polyp removal but in whose cases standard colonoscopic approach has failed is presented. The early results are excellent, and the method also can be applied to other patients who have colonic polyps who undergo procedures such as hysterectomy and cholecystectomy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
