Minimum (minimal) invasive techniques in early colorectal cancer treatment
- Gastroenterologická ambulancia, Nemocničná, a.s., Malacky
Minimally invasive non-operating techniques for treatment of early tumors of colon present a convenient approach for the patient. At most times they can be performed on outpatient basis or with minimal hospital stay. They are non-demanding procedures for the patient and can be used even in patients with high surgical risk. These techniques include classical polypectomy and endoscopic mucosal resection. Other methods used include argon plasma coagulation and laser therapy, if available. These techniques are indicated in findings limited to muscularis mucosa. Risk of complication during and after procedure is low. Endoscopic ultrasound is recommended prior procedure in large size or high-risk polyps.
Keywords: Key words: polypectomy, endoscopic mucosal resection, argon plasma coagulation, laser. Key words MeSH: colorectal neoplasms – classification, surgery; endoscopy, gastrointestinal; adenomatous polyps – surgery; surgical procedures, minimally invasive.
