Transanal endoscopic video-assisted (TEVA) resection of early rectal lesions using a SILS port. A single center experience
2016
AIM: Transanal Endoscopic Video Assisted (TEVA) excision using a Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery SILSTM-Port represents a safe and complete technique to remove benign lesions of the rectum not treatable by endoscopy and malignant rectal lesions at early stage. It is a valid alternative to transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM), to conventional transanal surgery and to transabdominal resection. METHODS: In our operating Unit we performed a resection of 8 voluminous adenoma in the rectal ampulla with SILSTM-Port. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was of 51.1 years, the mean BMI was 23. There were not intra or post-operative complications nor conversions to conventional transanal exc…
Colonoscopic screening of first-degree relatives of patients with large adenomas: increased risk of colorectal tumors.
2007
International audience; Background & Aims: The risk of developing colorectal neoplasia is not well established among family members of individuals with large adenomas and screening strategies remain under debate in this population. This study aimed at quantifying the risk of colorectal adenomas and cancers using colonoscopic screening in first-degree relatives of patients with large adenomas. Methods: This case-control study was performed in 18 endoscopic units of French non-University Hospitals. A colonoscopy was offered to first-degree relatives of 306 index cases with adenomas ≥ 10 mm, if they were alive, aged 40-75 and could be contacted by the index case. Among 674 relatives meeting th…
