| Popis: | Background and study aims Prophylactic extended colectomy may be indicated because most surgically untreated patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) develop colorectal cancer (CRC) in their lifetime. However, some patients refuse to undergo surgery to avoid degradation of their quality of life. We report that FAP is controllable with laparoscopic partial resection and postoperative polypectomy even when complicated by advanced CRC. We also discuss the utility of cold snare polypectomy for resection of polyps. |
