- W1994971471 abstract "PURPOSE: Patients are commonly referred to surgeons for surgical resection of polyps that cannot be excised colonoscopically. Repeating the colonoscopy may be met with resistance by both the patient and the referring endoscopist. However, there are two distinct benefits. First, if the lesion was not marked, tattooing facilitates laparoscopic resection. Second, and more importantly, many of these polyps can be removed endoscopically by an experienced colorectal surgeon, avoiding unnecessary colon resection. Over a period of five years, we have reviewed preoperative colonoscopy in patients who were referred for surgical treatment of benign polyps. METHODS: From January 1999 through September 2003 all patients referred for surgical resection of a benign polyp were consecutively entered into a database by a single group of colorectal surgeons. All patients underwent preoperative colonoscopy on the day before the planned colon resection. Patient charts were reviewed, and demographics were recorded. The referral and preoperative colonoscopy reports and all pathology results were reviewed to record the polyp size, location, histology, and subsequent treatment. RESULTS: Altogether, 71 patients were included in this study. The average size of the polyps was 24 mm (range, 10-60 mm). The location of the polyp as determined by preoperative colonoscopy differed from the location noted on referral colonoscopy in nine patients (13 percent). Surgery was canceled in 23 patients (32 percent), primarily because of complete polypectomy at preoperative colonoscopy. Of the 48 who underwent surgery, 23 (47 percent) had a colonic tattoo placed, at the discretion of the surgeon. Lesions clearly located in the cecum were not tattooed routinely. Of the 48 patients who underwent surgery, 45 (94 percent) underwent laparoscopic colon resection. CONCLUSIONS: We concluded that patients referred for surgical resection of a polyp should undergo repeat colonoscopy preoperatively, given that in our study one-third of patients were spared unnecessary colectomy. In addition, repeat endoscopy by the operating surgeon offers an opportunity to confirm the location of the lesion and place a colonic tattoo to facilitate laparoscopic resection." @default.
