Endoscopic management of colorectal adenomas

چکیده
Colorectal adenomas are well known precursors of invasive adenocarcinoma. Colonoscopy is the gold standard for adenoma detection. Colonoscopy is far more than a diagnostic tool, as it allows effective treatment of colorectal adenomas. Endoscopic resection of colorectal adenomas has been shown to reduce the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer. Difficult resection techniques are available, such as endoscopic mucosal resection, endoscopic submucosal dissection and endoscopic full-thickness resection. This review aims to provide an overview of the different endoscopic resection techniques and their indications, and summarizes the current recommendations in the recently published guideline of the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.

Management of Pituitary Adenomas: Mononostril Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Surgery
Introduction: The endoscopic transsphenoidal approach for pituitary adenomas and other sellar lesions is quickly becoming the procedure of choice in their surgical management. The most common approach is binostril three-hand technique which requires a large exposure and subjects both nasal cavities to potential trauma. To reduce nasal morbidity, we employ a mononostril two-hand technique with t...
متن کاملIs There an Indication for Surgical Resection in Colorectal Adenoma?
BACKGROUND Due to the adenoma-carcinoma sequence, complete removal of colorectal polyps is essential. METHOD This article analyzes the role of surgery in the removal of colorectal adenoma. RESULTS Nowadays, most adenomas are removed properly by endoscopic methods. Also in the resection of giant polyps and recurrent adenoma endoscopic data is convincing. Therefore, surgical resection of colo...
متن کاملScreening, management and surveillance for the sessile serrated adenomas/polyps.
The incidence and mortality rates from right-sided colorectal cancers (CRCs) have not decreased, compared with the significant reduction of CRCs in the left colon in recent years. It is likely that a significant proportion of right-sided CRCs evolve from undetected sessile serrated adenomas/polyps (SSA/Ps) in the primary colonoscopy. Increasing evidences suggest that SSA/Ps are high-risk lesion...
متن کاملWho Needs Follow-Up after Endoscopic Resection of Colorectal Adenomas?
BACKGROUND Surveillance colonoscopy after endoscopic resection of colorectal adenomas is a crucial step in the concept of colorectal cancer screening. After identifying the patients at risk with screening and resection of adenomas, there has to be a tailored surveillance. Surveillance colonoscopy should detect recurrent and metachronal adenomas at a stage where they can be removed endoscopicall...
