Abstract

Although radical excision remains the treatment of choice for rectal carcinoma and lagre rectal polyps, endoscopic Transanal resection of such tumours in patients unfit for surgery, as well as for those fit patients with small sessile rectal polyps, is a valid therapeutic option. In the present series 18 patients (12 males and 6 females) median age 77 years, (range 63-90) had endoscopic Transanal resection. Four had carcinoma and 14 had benign sessile polyps. There was no post-operative complication. All of the 14 benign polyps were resected completely. One carcinoma was completely resected which has arisen in villous tumor and other 3 carcinomas had good palliation. This technique provider a cheap and effective way of treating rectal lesions utilizing existing equipment.
